I'm planning a trip that will get me the status points I need to maintain QFF silver, and I am wondering about the return flight (which I need the status points from).

The trip is US-AU-US, and I am thinking of returning on the last day of my membership year, in which case both flights (cross pacific and US domestic connection) will occur within the membership year according to local time, but not quite according to Australian time.

Anyone know if this is risky? I had a look at the Qantas website and couldn't see a definitive answer (I also tried searching these forums and some simple web searching, but it was tricky to work out how to phrase the query to get what I wanted, at least I wasn't able to find a relevant thread).

Thanks!
