Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview!

Just hoping I haven't missed the boat here...I was checking on the run Perth-Sydney-Cairns business class last weekend....it would give me the 160 points i need to hit gold by 31/10 (no other flights booked before then)...when I checked last weekend it was something like 28,000 points + $200 for the flights....if I call the ph number mentioned should I be able to still get the same deal? Probably be the only chance i get to hit gold unless i go back to FIFO work (just quit :))...and we have 3 overseas trips planned in the next 12 months...

and...if i am able to book this (i have approx 45K points)...I receive status credits for the flight don't I?

Sorry for all the q's.... :)

Unless someone has booked the fare bucket you need on the date you wanted you should be fine. And yes, SCs included.

Maybe I am seeing it wrong but isn't 28,000 points + $200 a great deal for 160 SC ?

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview!

Did you find these deals on the new website?
I am finding it very difficult to duplicate these SC flights for a reasonable points outlay?

I seem to be missing something … I have never received a DSC offer. I'm now SG aiming for WP by the end of the year. Is there any reason I've been missing out?

First thing to do would be to check your profile:

Frequent Flyer Exclusives - Flight and travel offers, promotions and more.

Should be checked.

BA have heaps of really well priced J deals and it's easy to browse fare by destination and month on their website if you know where to look... LHR to Bordeaux return for GBP202 is an 80sc steal...All the BA status runs involve London airports though, and careful as connecting flights often have airport changes if you aren't watching closely. BA domestic doesn't have a J cabin, but you can earn J SC on them if part of a J booking (e.g. ROM-LHR-EDI)

Only a minority get the double status offer, most never get it, no one really knows how QFF choose who does. In my case I've had 2 in 4 years and took them up.
