I am a long time lurker in FT - but rarely posts; I used to fly a lot with OW during my sting in Europe but now I am based in Canada (YUL) and does sporadic paid flights.
Most flights are within N.A & I intend to (Pay) fly to India yearly once my award miles stash expires. OZ interests me mainly due to status accrual & renewal timelines.
I am hoping OZ makes sense to my needs - comments welcome
Basic Details as follows
1) Based at YUL
2) Can take position flights to NYC / YYZ if needed
3) Just looking for *A status (for circa 3 - 3.5 yrs at least) without much hassle
Queries as follows
1) I know it requires 40K miles for Diamond ; are there any mileage run sweet spots available for me?
2) Does OZ have any quarterly / yearly sales/promo that happens routinely that can be leveraged for mileage runs?
3) Impact of OZ earning chart for domestic AC & intra N.A flights?
