The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

[J-P]

But also, why not take your private jet?

The private jet doesn't offer any additional benefits for higher status! Really makes it pointless to fly them at all if you can't accrue status credits

Hi I need 160 status points to reach lifetime silver with the current double status offer has any one got any suggestions on the best itinerary to take to achieve this, not bothered about destination but must leave from and return to Brisbane. Or is not worth chasing as I'm a life member for Qantas Club.

Brisbane to Newcastle in business class return will net 160SC
Can be done as a turnaround and it’s pretty cheap.

Hey, thanks so much for everyone's help and patience! Even when it seemed like I was asking the same question yet again.

We just booked all our flights to qualify for platinum 1400 DSC by early next yr, starting from 0 SC as soon as our Qantas anniversary clicks over next month. Interestingly AMEX was cheaper than Qantas for one of the itineraries despite often being more expensive as Amex sometimes can't see cheaper fares. Worked out well as able to use my Amex yearly travel credit.

We're taking early retirement end of year and looking forward to travelling a lot more while we can.
Now just need to do some research for Business class seats to Japan, Europe and US. Maybe we'll need to buy a One World ticket, as already used our pts for the Qantas OW business award.

Have fun travelling everyone!
