First
ever Status Run to QF Platinum |
Trip
report by Ade | Ok, I've never written anything this big on AFF, this is my first time :) I'm not sure if I'd call this a trip report. I've read some TR's on this website and OMG, I'm no way close to that... but I thought it would be great if I penned down how my first ever status run went. I successfully finished my first ever status run in my race to QF Platinum, with only 3 weeks to spare on my membership year. read

This
week, we interviewed AFF member Wanderlust_tim from Melbourne. Wanderlust_tim joined Australian Frequent Flyer in 2016 and has so far made 366 posts. |
Q:
Most recent flight? |
A:
EK405 MEL-SIN on Thursday. I booked a last minute quick getaway for Mrs Wanderlust_tim and I a couple of weeks ago. Originally via Bali on Jetstar and then KLM to try their fifth freedom route. However the JQ flight was delayed 9 and 10 hours respectively on Monday and Tuesday, which made us nervous we'd miss our KLM flight. So when we saw award seats open on the Emirates direct flight, we jumped on them. |
Q:
What's still on your bucket list? |
A:
The list is long and always growing, but it would have to be Lake Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is the world's largest lava lake, you hike up and then spend the night camped on the ridge. I imagine it would be terrifying but beautiful. |
Q:
What's one thing you would never travel overseas without? |
A:
Talcum
powder. It's an odd one but this was one of the best pieces of travel advice I have ever received. It helps keep you comfortable in tropical climates and isn't always readily available to buy on the ground. |
Q:
What's one piece of advice you would give to a new AFF member? |
A:
Keep an open mind. The world is an incredible place and some of your fondest memories are likely to come from a place or scenario you never imagined was possible. |
Q:
Favourite forum on AFF? |
A:
The Stopover
Guides. Many on AFF have the maxim of "why fly direct when you can connect". I am a big believer in this, but I would rather get out of the airport and spend a day exploring a new city too. The stopover guides are an excellent resource for information both in and out of the airport. |
