Looking to draw upon the collective wisdom of the group...
I have been WP with Qantas for 3 years, averaging between 1400 and 2500 SCs per year.
I will finish this membership year on 31 October with approximately 1700 SCs. However, having relocated to New York I have not been able to take any Qantas flights, nor do I have any immediate plans to. It seems likely I won't be able to get the 4 Qantas marketed flights in this membership year required to maintain status unless I take a specific trip.
From JFK, the cheapest/easiest appears to be JFK>LAX>PPT on American airlines and Air Tahiti codeshares. This is a 15hr trip in economy for US$2,000 which is more than I wish to spend to maintain status.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and have any ideas as to a cheaper / easier way to make the 4 required flights? Many thanks in advance!
