Yes but no points or SC earn.

I did say that. You don't get points or SC's if you can't find a FASA either...

Re: First status run kicking off soon. Qantas lady thought I was playing a joke on he

So I have my first Status run coming up this weekend to take advantage of the DSC promotion. I called Qantas to merge 2 separate bookings together and the lady thought I was playing a joke on her when she brought up the flight info and then proceeded to ask me 3 times if I was sure I knew what I was doing. This is going to be a weekend to remember (i'm not sure if its something I would want to tell too many people about though)

I currently need 660 status credits to achieve WP for the first time with a rollover of Nov 30. This is what my weekend currently looks like:

Saturday 26[SUP]th[/SUP] May
Melbourne to Sydney 7:00 / 08:25 - JASA
Sydney to Alice Springs 09:50 / 12:35 - JASA
Alice Springs to Sydney 13:20 / 16:35 - YASA
Sydney to Melbourne 18:00 / 19:35 - YASA

Sunday 27[SUP]th[/SUP] May
Melbourne to Alice Springs – 08:35 / 11:00 - JASA
Alice Springs to Sydney 1:20 / 16:35 - JASA
Sydney to Melbourne 5:15 / 18:50 – JASA

EARN: 660 status credits + 13,945 + 5,000 = 18,945

TOTAL COST: $495 / 65,055 points

Can you advise why it costs $495.00?

Thank you.

Glenn

Re: First status run kicking off soon. Qantas lady thought I was playing a joke on he

Hi to all,

I think this is a very good way of getting the SC up and I would like to do this as well.

Can anyone tell me if my calculations are correct or not on the following schedule based on J class travel?

Syd - Alice = 80 SC
Alice - Perth = 40 SC (economy only available)
Perth - Sydney = 80 SC
Sydney - Alice - Sydney = 160

This would be a total of 360 SC and with the current promotion would double to 720 SC

Do I use points to do this?

If so how do i find out how many are required?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Glenn - Sydney

Have a read of post 1 in this thread. It explains how to book a JASA.....make sure you don't book classic as you do not earn points or status credits with these award bookings.

re: ( Now gone) "how do I book a J any seat award at classic award points level" thread.

Okay so let me get this right in my head...

A QF J Class Ticket BNE/SYD/ADL/BNE will cost me $2593 for the dates I need to travel. Using the JASA (whatever you guys call it lol), I can book the same flights for $293.76 + 64,000 points (max permitted)? So does this mean I will earn FF points + SC? OMG why didn't I discover this sooner?

Also, can the same be done with DJ?

Yes to FF and SC earn.
No to DJ.

J = J Class (Business)
ASA = Any Seat Award

Because they're getting the toasters and gift cards, and that makes life sweeter for us here

And in closing... I've learnt so much from AFF today. More than ever before! I just know I'll be constipated tomorrow :shock:

xASA's - they are a beautiful use of points & money, aren't they

... FWIW it may have been only been since early last year that ASA's could earn QFF points/SC's.

Two years of QF watching their points liability not climbing as much as it used to - although we are trying hard to use EDR to the max.

Use this tool to calculate how many Points & SC you will earn: https://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/do/dyns/initialPointsEarned

As for how many points are required, read this: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....uent-flyer-program/how-do-i-book-j-29610.html

That's why I posted "may have" ...

Looking back, in July 2010 I did book a JASA MEL-SIN for June 2011 with the awareness of the point/SC earn.

Certainly a comfortable way - but if you need to get from A to B, they really come in to their own on flights to Europe or the Americas.

I booked a FASA LHR-MEL once, made WP later that year and have no regrets at all. Being a self-funded traveller I'll be remembering that flight for a long time to come.

re: ( Now gone) "how do I book a J any seat award at classic award points level" thread.

So I loaded LHR-SIN for a WP and with 240 SCs and 20k points back make that FASA Saver a very good booking on QF.(using ferni post of the calculator)
Had been regularly doing SQ in First at 154k each way SIN-LHR and no status so I had lost sight of QF starting to be a little more competitive.

Globetrotter,

Can you please tell me why you pay $293.76 + 64,000 points??

Is the cash just for the taxes??

Or are you using points plus pay??

Many thanks,
