Any suggestions for an ASA ex SYD, with the most direct routing possible, that will earn between 65 - 100 SC's?

After Mrs GCC's next OS trip at the end of March, she will be 100 SC's and one QF sector away from SG in her own right.:o QFF renewal date is 31 May. No money for fares but a reasonable stockpile of points. Worth her chasing SG? - absolutely.

The only travel plans prior to renewal are SYD - PER 23/5 and then PER - BME on 30/5 or 31/5. I might be able to book the PER flight as YASA, so she will earn 20 SC's and still be 80 short of SG. Same for BME flight. Not a sure thing, so best case is she'll earn 35 SC's and be 65 short. She'll be traveling to PER with 2 small children so a JASA isn't an option for those flights unfortunately.

She is not someone who would normally see the sense in a status run, but has been persuaded to see the value in this circumstance.
 
Why not do a weekend in NZ?
 
JASA to SYD-HBA and back? 48K+++ earning 120 SC's

YASA to CBR, JASA CBR-xSYD-HBA, YASA HBA-SYD (or vv)? 8K+++, 16K+++ & 12K+++; 36K+++ in total earning 125 SC's.

JASA to CBR and back? 32K+++ earning 80 SC's.
 
Mrs GCC works and we have a 1 YO and 3 YO so am really looking for a run that can be done as a day trip. We actually have a lot of travel planned, including 2 trips to NZ later this year, which is why SG will be handy.

JASA to CBR and back would be the best in that case.

I think a JASA to CBR return might be it.

Thanks
