Opening of I class
Ok, I am very tempt to do a SR this weekend but the problem is I must pay and fly tomrrow so I can be back at work by Monday. Whats on my mind is HKG-LHR-MIL-LHR-HKG
The problem is that there are plenty of seats with Qantas with I class, do you think my TA and having my status with help opening 2 I class from LHR-MIL on BA? The price of the ticket is kinda cheap, HKD$20800 + tax and surcharge for 440 SC.
I'm starting to run out of ideas where to do my SR within Asia on OW carriers. The HKG-BKK-SIN SR does not fit my bill for 300+ SC. Any tips? Or should I really invest in a 3/4LONE ticket at this price? (mental note... I cannot get too much time off at the office)
Cheers Wongo

My TA in HKG, she can force open a revenu availabilty on my CX flights once in a while. It works about 60% of the time. Bugger, looks like I arn't flying discount J this weekend.

hmm, I need 505 SC, the trip if in J can hull me 440SC. So it leaves me with one regional J to finish off my requirement before Oct 31th.
Otherwise, I can risk it all by not flying this year and hope they comp me for a year.
