Hi All,
Been a long time lurker joined earlier this year and have been an occasional poster here at AFF. Though its a good time to say hi and ask for a bit of help please
Currently Silver with 210 Points till Gold. Would be content with Gold but I might be able to make it to WP with planned flights so why not try. All my flights are self funded, these are the minimun flights planned till end of my membership year 30 Sept.
1/ I will do at least 3 east coast domestic flights
2/ MEL-MNL - Either CX Y (Cheaper than QF Y via HKG) or JQ (*Class?) or QF Y (Budget approx $1500+)
3/ MEL-NYC - Either QF Y+ Sale or FJ J (Budget approx $4,000+)
Some questions regarding FJ booking:
1/ Do I have to book through QF Fiji site? If I book through FJ do QF flight numbers apply and do I earn SCs
2/ Booking a J flight NAD-LAX with QF or FJ site, price is nearly the same. Booking NAD-NYC costs $1200+ more on QF site than FJ site. Dont know why but obviously I would prefer to fly US Domestic in J and get the extra status credits.
3/ Cant do multi city bookings - debating if travel agent is best option?
Your thoughts and suggestions on the best way to get the SC to WP (within my budget) are appreciated. I am happy to fly Y except for NYC trip where I would like to fly Y+ minimum.
Cheers n Thanx guys!
CURRENT STATUS: Qantas Silver
QUALIFYING YEAR ENDS: 30 September
STATUS CREDITS EARNED QUALIFYING YTD: 470
REGISTERED PROMOTIONS: Double Status credits till 31 July 11 - YAY!
AVERAGE NUMBER OF FLIGHTS (Sectors per year): 4 Int, 4 Trans Tasman, 20 Domestic
USUAL BOOKING CLASS: Y Domestic, Y & Y+ International
HOME AIRPORT: MEL
CURRENT POINTS BALANCE: 190K
GOALS: Will easily achieve Gold, hope to achieve WP but not at any cost, ideally by "maximising SC" for existing flights planned
POINTS: My points I like to keep and use for upgrades or flights. Dont see equal value in JASA flights
DESTINATIONS MOST VISITED: CBR, SYD
PLANNED TRIPS: MEL-MNL before end July, MEL-NYC-SFO-MEL 13/08-15/09, MEL-CBR x2.
