Don't think so...

If I fly Sunshine Express Airlines, do I get status credits?

I have a feeling the answer is "No". My reasoning is that on the T & C page it mentions the points earned, but no mention of Status Credits when talking about Sunshine express...

Anyways, all opinions welcome (including those blank looks )
Hi Aus_Mal,

I don't think you earn SCs with SEA (Isn't it only QF/JC/QFLINK/JQ, OW Partners and Air Pacific?) I have always wondered whether or not you do, but I think that with both SEA and Macair you only earn points.

You going to fly on the 'Box' aka Shorts 360? Unfortunately there is only 1 left now (only one left in Southern Hemisphere I believe). Also another unfortunate piece of news is that another one of Australia's shortest commercial flight is being canned and that is BNE-MCY (Sunshine Coast). Apparently SEA have been averaging low 20-30% load factors and I believe the last flight is being operated by the SH6 on Sunday 7th August. So that's now BNE-OOL and BNE-MCY finally/being discontinued.

Cheers
David
