| George
Clooney in Australia? |
How
far would you go to earn top-tier status
with your preferred airline?
It's not uncommon for AFF members to
undertake what's known as a "status run".
This is where a series of flights are taken
in order to earn enough status credits to
attain or retain elite airline status.
Booking a status run can make sense if you're
just a few status credits short of the next
tier.
But one member recently took the concept of
a status run to a whole new level. Over just
two weeks, our very own George Clooney
(a.k.a. Platinum One) flew
between Australia and New Zealand 15 times!

| Virgin
Australia has been offering
a unique fast-track to Gold

| Value
Stripped from MH Enrich
Program |
| Malaysia
Airlines has announced yet
another major devaluation of
its Enrich frequent flyer
program. The changes, which
come into effect on 10 June,
remove almost all of the
remaining value in the
program. Enrich mile
redemptions will become more
expensive, with the price of
award tickets and upgrades
both increasing. It will
also become more difficult more...

"I had almost given up trying to use my reward points for two of us to travel to Lisbon business class from Hobart, I spoke to Qantas three times and also a travel agent, all came up with a big fat zero. I then asked these guys for help. They charged me $100 and after three days I received all the information I needed to make it all work with exact details on how and when to make my bookings. They also gave me some free advice on my homeward leg. It is great to speak to an organisation that say what they do and do what they say, good job Frequent Flyer Solutions."

| Qantas
Point Upgrade Tips |
| For
many, using points to
upgrade a long-haul
international flight is the
"holy grail" of Qantas
Frequent Flyer redemptions.
But with so many frequent
flyers competing for a
limited number of Premium
Economy, Business and First

guaranteed. The chances can
be especially slim for more...
