Hi all,
I'm currently planning my next opportunity to bugger off to the US, and I'm trying to balance status retention with financial sensibility.
I'm in Melbourne and will obviously need to get to Sydney or Brisbane to get to LAX on Virgin. In terms of Status Credit earn SYD-LAX and BNE-LAX are equivalent which leaves the domestic leg for consideration.
With all that said:
As always, thanks to all who reply.

With all that said:
- Do Premium Economy fares from MEL to LAX get the benefit of PE SC and points earn rates on the domestic legs?
- As a Platinum member, can complimentary upgrades be used for the domestic legs?
- Are there any tips anyone can offer (or pre-existing guides that anyone can point to) regarding securing points-based upgrades to Business Class for the long haul leg?
As always, thanks to all who reply.
