Considering my first Status run.

So with the Business fares at double SC at the moment I am considering my first SC run.

Ive worked out my best option for a same day turn is probably either BNE-SYD-MKY-BNE with the SYD-MKY segment as the J segment or I could go BNE-CNS-BNE for something really boring and only about $20 cheaper.

Obviously the BNE-CNS-BNE will be easier due to schedule as the plane that goes up will turn around and come back.

where as the MKY run will be more interesting and probably a little bit more fun for an #avgeek like me.

Opinions?

I am 280 SC short of Gold Requal but I have till August to do this. I've got a bit of travelling to do before August so have a bit of SC coming in, but is it worth the $500 to boost the balance?
