How to get status credits, lots and fast!

If you're taking this option, you can turn 180 SCs in to 300 SCs quite easily by connecting in SFO. Takes only a little while longer and is the same fare.

I did that recently - it fills in a day but can get a bit hairy with connecting flights. see my report here.

Go SYD-CBR Business return - 80 SC approx $650 return.
Pretty good in my opinion and only 55 mins flying time!

But needs to get to SYD first. Could do starclass MEL-SYD on friday, J SYD-CBR. Then a CBR-xSYD-ADL, then ADL-MEL. But that's only going to get 140 SC and will cost $800-$1000, if getting in on the sale that ends tonight.

So the YUP options LAX to SFO or SEA are better.
