Increasing SC's

[hb13]

Hello All,

I apologize if someone has already asked this or posted this, I have been searching a fair bit and couldn't find it. I have very recently attained silver status with Qantas and would very much like to get Gold by the end of the year. I travel domestically for work and I have two trips coming up ex Melb to regional Queensland (Mackay/Rockhampton). Both trips will be flex, so I know I will get 100 SC's for each return trip.

I'm aware of the ASA and JASA bookings that I could do to earn the extra SC's, however is there a way I can upgrade to J on these flights, or any flights (using points) for that matter in such a way that I could get extra SC's for my trips? Work will not pay for J tickets, however I'm willing to fork out extra points or a LITTLE extra cash for the extra SC's.

Upgrading to J by paying the fare difference is the only way to get the J SCs etc, and thats rarely a "little cash".

Thanks markis10, I had a feeling that was my only solution.

Oh well I'll just have to do a status run come the end of the year.

You can change a flexi fare without charge, so if you contact Qantas and explain you want to change to J and pay the difference, you should be able to do so. You won't be able to use points to make up the difference though.

When you do look at using points Mel. via SYD or BNE to either TSV or DRW.

Just out of interest, to Mackay/Rockhampton, are they flights which actually have a J cabin?

 

[hb13]

I don't actually know if there is a J cabin to those areas. There probably wouldn't be I assume.

No QF mainline into MKY or ROK, just QF link, no J

Just keep an eye out for deals (often unadvertised) just booked DRW-SYD-DRW J 20 Dec/1 Jan for $1400 return which was $31 dearer than semi flex and miles cheaper than standard Y and J.
