QFF status run question

[HardieBoys]

Hi there,

I'm going to crowd-source the forum to find the information I need. I'll be 160 SC short of extra platinum benefits (Gold membership for partner). Any suggestions regarding the best way of managing this? SYD - BNE - TVS in J is over $2000 return, SYD - Auckland J is around $1400 return (but more hassle). Ideally I'd like it all done in one day or weekend. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

So we assume you're based in Sydney...

Any miles available to use?

Yes, sorry, I should have specified that I'm based in Sydney. I have around 550K miles at present.

A JASA (business Any Seat Award) Syd-Bne-Tsv return will net 200SCs and cost 48000 QF pts and about $350. You need to ring QF to book.

Cheapest I can think of is catching a bus to Canberra, staying a night, then doing a CBR-SYD-HBA-SYD-CBR JASA for 32,000 and around $300 and missing the last flight. 160SCs.

You can do that in a day as well.

LAN across the ditch and back is also worth considering for under $1K

There is a whole thread on this.

I'd post the link but haven't worked out how to do it in the app.
