Hi All,
I've been lurking around AFF for a while and am now hooked on climbing the QFF ladder! (Thanks guys, although my partner wishes I'd shut up about it all ha!) My girlfriend and I don't fly all that frequently but I have a couple of trips coming up in the next few months/year. I am pondering booking a Business Max fare with JQ for a return CNS-NRT trip for about $1500, considering this will earn me 2xSC's that I'd get with QF PE + save about $1000 (based on booking the fares today). This would leave me only a few SC's short of achieving SG for the first time (which I'll gain via a status run). Is this worth it do you think? Is JQ business roughly on par with QF PE?
Our honeymoon will be in Sept next year and we'd like to have the best possible chances of getting an upgrade from J to F so I understand it would be advantageous to try and get as high a status as possible. Can someone please confirm that if if you achieve a higher status (eg. SG) you keep that for the remainder of your current membership year + the next full membership year? Or will I only be SG for 12 months from when I gain that level?
Thanks for any thoughts/responses.
