I will have a spare day 3rd september in Washington DC to acquire additional SCs before heading back to Australia via JFK. Usually quite happy with silver pleb status, but after assisting my mother to check in the other day (she's on gold), the horrendous security line-up made me think twice, in addition to being able to access better seats when booking future trips, qantas club departure upgrades etc and lounge access overseas. I will be doing more travel so I think it's time for gold.
I can either fly from DCA (Reagan national) to do a JFK-SFO for $479 for 150 status credits, and return next day SFO-JFK $479 for additional 150 SCs arriving 345pm. Leaves me a few hours (cutting it a bit fine) to connect my onward flight at 655pm. Any other short hops that I should consider for a better bang for my buck? I will have acquired SC from flying QF PE BNE-JFK return 280, JFK-MIA-EYW 100, EYW-MIA-DCA 100, so I won't need that much more in order to qualify. So, how about it?
