QF Double Status Credits February 2026 Promo

That is a very interesting tip. NZ status runs in my view, as a frequent visitor to Auckland anyway,, are way cheaper than going anywhere else in business. Yesterday I was looking at SYD-HND in April I think and the cheapest ONE way in economy to Japan was $2,300, which is insane as you would probably do a return in economy for half that price. Trouble is it was only flex fares left, which are considerably over priced always (corporates no doubt get a discounted rate).

You can do one way Business Auckland to Japan for $2500

Apologies if some smart person has already added this, if you're booking rewards flights as a Points Club member during DSC, make sure you're over the line for PC for when you're actually flying.

If you aren't you won't get any status (eek, quickly orders silly amount of wine).

And if you're going for Green Tier, use this amazing website: Qantas Wine Bonus Points Tracker & Calculator (Claude is really too if you're lazy/pressed for time).

I did the overnight AKL airport last year November.

You have to wait landside until 4:30am because that’s when immigration opens.

It’s a bit of a drag but doable - at least McDonals is open 24 hours.

I'll be doing it in CHC instead of AKL. I've booked a refundable room next to the airport for about $100 at the moment which I can at least use to have a shower and maybe get a couple of hours of sleep. If I'd been very cheap I could have gone for a ~$30 pod.

If I get to CHC
IM Riding the trams. Bought annual pass so that’ll be free.
The late flight though me as no local bus available to get to the city for $3-4
