First Ever Status Run !!

[Orca]

Hi All,

I'm just about to board my first leg of my first ever status run! On a J(M)ASA of course! Flying BNE - SYD - PER - KTA - PER - MEL - BNE today/tonight. Arriving back in Brisneyland tomorrow morning at 0915. Coupled with my trip to Tokyo in a few weeks, I'll be WP by months end all thanks to the tips and tricks provided by AFF! The only downside to the whole thing is having SWMBO think I'm borderline insane :/

Insanity can be cured by taking SWMBO to the F lounge in SYD or MEL.

Mrs Lime actually talked me into doing a trip or 2 with double SC offer couple months back to become a WP for 1st time, be in Sydney Oct. with her to try out the 1st lounge on our way to HKG, I guess out of the latter we might try a few.

Dear Patient,

You are in the right asylum here on AFF.

Enjoy your J trip.

HWMBO (well, I let him think that) used to think I was insane until he sampled all the Platinum benefits. Now he joins me on the status runs!

What's the matter with doing a status run & spending a couple of nights at the destination, maybe not KTA but what about DRW? That way it looks like the primary reason is to getaway somewhere & the secondary reason is the status run.

I can understand SWMBO logic of thinking KTA & back in 24 hours is insanity although I probably wouldn't bat an eyelid after last week when I was getting some milk & a couple of other essentials at IGA while SO was to order a pizza from the Pizza Hut right next door. I come out of IGA to find him ordering one over the phone from Dominos while standing out the front of Pizza Hut.

I'm putting that one down to 'engineering logic 101'. :shock: :shock:

Only because it's the lunatics that are running the place!

SWMBO rolled her eyes when I did the KTA run. Then she quit her FIFO job and asked me how she could retain PS. Guess who got crazy real quick...Subsequently we're off on a 7 segment sc run over 2 days at the end of September. Now to subtly plan a LOTFAP run err holiday mwah!

Totally agree,I tend to morph sc runs into 4 day weekends to create added value.

I think you might want to do a Caribbean Cruise ex SJU. Celebrity Summit has a good itinerary.

Ha too perfect! I've been elbowed for my lack of interest in cruises. I've suddenly developed an interest ; )

Spooky! I'm booked on that ship next year ex SJU. (Fingers crossed they can't have norovirus on board 2 cruises in a row).
