I've been researching a DONE4 for a MR (or in QFF speak, an SCR
*).
With plenty of assistance from people on this Forum, I have come up with a routing that satisfies my needs.
It should net me 2,300 Status Credits.. The base miles are about 64,000 and with Cabin and Status Bonus' included I'll get over 110,000 miles. It is optimised for a resident of MEL (ME
).
As an aside, while doing this I made a few tweaks and came up with a routing that would net any QF FTer who is
game enough to do it 2,500 status credits and at least 90,000 miles (That for a QFF Bronze; more for Silver, Gold and Platinum).
I will not be travelling it.
It is seasonal for NA summer only; with ANC being visited and DFW traversed four times.
Code:
CMB-HKG-KHI-HKG-JFK-DFW-ANC-DFW-SEA-DFW-LAX-LHR-MCT-LHR-MEL-CNS-PER-MEL-AKL-HKG-CMB
<-----CX----><AA*><----------AA----------><----BA----><--------QF--------><--CX--->

To get to this level of SC's, all intra NA segments need to be booked into A on two class F/Y flights.
The cost ex CMB is about AU$7,000+taxes/levies/charges. (US$5,300+, GB£3,000+)
Now here's a challenge, can any of you Guru's here find a way to get this to 2,500 SC's or more? Remember SC's are God; miles are a bonus.
FWIW, I believe this routing will return 2160 BA Exec Club Tier Credits.
