Help with a JASA run.

[Chonsa2]

Hi, (First time post). I'm a QFF and at WP. I'm considering a JASA run to gain max SC to keep up my WP. Can anyone suggest a good JASA domestic run ex. Melb ret. Melb that can be done in one day. (say 6.00am to 11.0 pm).
Also is there a regular timing of QF's relasing its double SC offer to selected FF members.
Great site and thanks in advance.

How many points are you wishing to spend (how long is a piece of string LOL)?

I have looked at a QF classic Award run of MEL/ADEL/PER/ADEL/MEL for 72K point and 470.00 taxwith 220 SC and 9090 points earn and though this was ok but its over two days hence the added cost of accomm and meals.

Sorry that should read $70.00 in taxes.

Don’t you mean Any Seat Award, rather than Classic Award? You won’t get SCs for a Classic Award.

A lot of people get caught out on that one. Know someone who spend close to 250.000 on classic award to Europe thinking he would SC's and points...

It’s worth “pricing” both when making award bookings. I recently took the family SYD-CNS-SYD and the points cost in J for the Any Seat Award was exactly the same, to the point, as the Classic Award if you used points to pay for taxes (which as we all know are already included in the Any Seat Award). Plus we had a better choice of flights!

Have a look at post #8 on the JASA thread below for some other options:

Thanks Homer. Where is that on the QF web page please.

Log on to your FF account.

Select Award Bookings then choose "Qantas & Jetstar Any Seat Award ":

Not sure how much status you need but assuming around 200 SC. What about MEL-ADL-TSV-ADL/MEL?

That might be do-able in a day.

I had a look and that routing is not doable as the service miss connects in BNE all the time.
