Agree, I'm looking at getting 40SC on elevate for $250 (using 10% fare discount) MEL-xBNE-CNS in early September. It was less than $25 more than a getaway fare on the sake flights.
Hi all, if I was to book a business class flight via Flybuys travel, would I still earn the 5 points per $1 that velocity state on their website? I've called Velocity and they are not sure either
Hmmm, thanks.just noticed when using the promo code GPR69 that full business class fares from OOL to MEL via SYD are pricing at 617 which nets you
110 SCs at $5.60 per SC. Could be handy for someone who needs some SCs to maintain status but doesn't want to fly too many sectors.
Could drop down to Freedom fares which would earn 50SCs for $257 or $5.14 per SC
Hmmm, thanks.
I have 173SC to get to Platinum within two weeks before some drop off. I am kind of tempted, but not sure I can justify the >$1000 it is going to cost.
I'm the same as you, only around 200 SC to hit platinum, but I don't really see any benefit in Plat... happy to be pursuaded otherwise...

Considering you get a soft downgrade to Gold I can't see any value in spending a lot of money to retain platinum. Be better off using that spend to maintain gold the following year.
I am looking to maintain gold and need 110 status points still. I see lots of east coast runs for this but looking for something from Perth. Need to complete in next 3 weeks.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
110 is an awkward number. deva22's advice is probably best, its not school holidays or anything so you should be able to pick something up.I am looking to maintain gold and need 110 status points still.

If you go MEL-SYD-OOL you'll pool about 210 if I recall correctly.Is MEL-OOL still the best value run out of Melbourne? I had a look at flights in March and can see Business Class for about $1100 for 140SC. Not as cheap as some deals, but short and convenient.
