Fly Ahead and Original Routing Credit?

[Mackey]

I'm taking advantage of the new SC rules and flying BNE-MEL-ADL this weekend to get me within 10 SC of WP. There is a direct BNE-ADL flight that leaves 2 hours later but gets in 15 minutes earlier. If I was to use my Fly Ahead privilege to get on this flight, could I claim the original routing credit of 50 SC instead of the 30 SC I'll get flying direct?

Pretty sure SCs are allocated after you fly based on the flight you took.

I don't know how much anecdotal evidence exists for how this would be treated. However, original routing credits are more normally associated with an airline initiated change.

I would say voluntary change, just like paying a change fee to change the ticket, so very unlikely.
