Need a hand with a status credit run
Good day
does anyone have a same day status run from Melbourne that would get 55 status credits
i have 4 weeks and would like to hit the next level , for no reason, but it’s close
so if status credit per $ is low enough I’ll do a run
i am not in a double status credit window currently so would need to be actual credits
cheers, thanks in advance

Melbourne-darwin In JQ with a max bundle one way and plus bundle the other way would give you 60 SC (40 for max 20 for plus)
of course JQ is usually no one’s option but mine!
edit: good to see @Mzenenzi keeping the faith as well 😉

A business class flight?
JQ with a plus bundle tends to give more SC's than QF on the same route e.g. 25 vs 20 on my common route
The JQ site used to show SC earn, but now its harder far to find
https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/help/a...dle-fare-rules
"Qantas Points and Status Credits are earned at the Qantas Economy Rate." [not the discount economy rate common with many fare buckets]
https://www.qantaspoints.com/about/f...TS_HOW_TO_EARN
https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/do/dyn...alPointsEarned
https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/fl...as-and-jetstar
QF MEL BNE return for 2 x ??? maybe

MEL-CNS return via Brisbane would get 15 SC each sector in discount economy, or 30 per sector in full economy, though not sure about the same day potential. Could combine with a MEL-CNS direct of via SYD to come up with a same day trip?

Years ago I did MEL-SYD-CNS return in one day (Saturday) as a SC run. More SC with 4 segments than 2
Often for that sort of money, or less, you can do MEL New Zealand

I bit the bullet and flew to Brisbane and back on a flex fare , all good in the hood now for another year with 13 days to spare
