60 SC until WP, advice needed

[Blackadder]

Just trying to pick the brains of the QFF, currently sitting 60 status credits short of WP with my year ending Nov 30 so looking at a getaway ex SYD dep NOV 25 and returning NOV 28.
Unfortunatly only around 8K FF points, so a JASA is out of the question. At this stage I am leaning towards a Flexi Fare SYD-ADL-SYD, just seeing if there are other cheaper options out there.

Given no JASA opportunities, ADL flex sounds like a good idea though, especially if you are planning to make a trip out of it.

Flexi SYD-ADL-SYD ~ $550. Tuesdays there is a flight from SYD Intl so you could Flounge beforehand if you are already WP (edit - see you are not sorry)

Flexi SYD-HBA-SYD is around $550.
SYD-CBR-SYD J/Y is around $650
Jetstar SYD-MEL-SYD J/Y is around $750 (the stupid max pricing kills this as a good deal)

Other options all price out more. HTH.

Thanks, look like SYD-ADL-SYD flex it is.
Happy to get to WP self funded, and no double sc promotions involved

I am sure you have booked by now but a much better idea in my opinion would have been

Fri 25 Nov SYD-BNE-TSV Red e-deal $209 for 25 SCs and 3,576 QFF points as a Gold (current double points promotion)
Sun 27 Nov TSV-BNE-SYD Flexi Saver $339 for 50 SCs and 3,576 QFF points as a Gold (current double points promotion)

There are few other possibilities as well. Just look for destinations with a connection via another city.

I suggested SYD-HBA-SYD flexi above, an alternative take on this is:

SYD-MEL-HBA flex, HBA-MEL-SYD red. $450.
20+20+10+10 SC.

 

[JohnK]

Well that is a much better suggestion as the SYD-HBA-SYD flexi option is boring and should net a Gold 6,000 QFF points and a Platinum 8,000 QFF points.

Already locked in for SYD-ADL-SYD, also doubling as a hotel status run (unfortunately no Hilton properties in TSV/HBA )
But definitly some ideas to keep in mind for my next domestic sc run.
