Shhhhh!!! Wait until I have booked mine.

 

[VA beats QF]

Do you have months/weeks where it is available? I haven’t seen anything on Google Flights...

 

[madrooster]

Wide open date range from 15 NOV 2017 to 30 SEP 2018. No blackouts.

What does this mean? That internally in the US you have a bunch of sectors to just fly around and accrue SCs but can't actually have a stopover?

Pretty much looks like the standard definition of a status run!

Looks like a beauty! I've got 6 vouchers booked under DSC conditions - would they work?

Correct. Although you can have a long transit (< 24 hours) at each transit if you feel so inclined. Basically you get to rack up a large amount of SC's for no additional cost whatsoever, just by flying around as you said.

You can stop at LAX or SFO without being penalised by HIP rules however.

Looks like a beauty! I've got 6 vouchers booked under DSC conditions - would they work?

For QF no because the sale is ex-AKL and the fare rules only allow the fare to be sold in NZ which means it'd be in NZD.

Can anyone make AKL LAX work via MEL and the 787? Just seem to get stuck on 747 via BNE and the horrorible J seats I’ve vowed to never fly on again

 

[Limewood]

I see Air Canada has some good J one way fares too.

 

[Timtammi]

Bugger. Just booked NZ to MEL- SFO return in J for $5190 for July next year. This would have been a better deal although I dont like to transit through SYD.

For those in the BA camp... the SYD/NYC version of this fare allows up to 1240 TPs (or 82% towards BA gold/emerald) by upping the fare slightly to exceed the MPM.

I am doing the AA fare for a conference next year, crediting to BA.
