Considering my first Status run.
So with the Business fares at double SC at the moment I am considering my first SC run.
Ive worked out my best option for a same day turn is probably either BNE-SYD-MKY-BNE with the SYD-MKY segment as the J segment or I could go BNE-CNS-BNE for something really boring and only about $20 cheaper. Obviously the BNE-CNS-BNE will be easier due to schedule as the plane that goes up will turn around and come back. where as the MKY run will be more interesting and probably a little bit more fun for an #avgeek like me. Opinions? I am 280 SC short of Gold Requal but I have till August to do this. I've got a bit of travelling to do before August so have a bit of SC coming in, but is it worth the $500 to boost the balance? |
Be good to see the lounge in Mky for a short stop. Have you booked these to maximize the double credits? Have you calculated how many, as reading elsewhere depending or interlining certain sections may give you less than what you're hoping for.
It sounds like an easy MR and surely you would keep status by August? |
Booked it all last night.
Doing the MKY status run. three seperate direct sectors. BNE - SYD, SYD-MKY and MKY to BNE only 1 sector in J the other 2 in Y. The way i figure it, i have lounge access in MKY and BNE so whats the point of a quick hop in J. Plus i have 3A on both sectors and 1A for the J sector. And yep just to get the Double Status Credits is pretty much the only reason. Pretty much I have a possible impending move to SEA which could throw plans in the works of requalifying easy! |
Well today is the day..
My first ever status run. Flying BNE-SYD-MKY-BNE today If anyone is around the lounges im happy to guest in, look for the Purple Washington Huskies Shirt and the Flyertalk Tag. happy to chat any time :D ill also be on twitter as well so drop me a line if your around @bigmalx |

Very cool!
Don't forget to write up a trip report! There will be good bits, there will be bad bits, but I will be honest and thankfully I dont have to hold my tongue on this one :D |
All the points Just posted!!
Total points earned over both Status runs (BNE-AKL/SYD-BNE & BNE-SYD-MKY-BNE/BNE-ROK) is 13991 (including gold bonus) just waiting for the parking points to hit as well as that should help out. But the main thing is status credits! Total SC earned over both trips: 175! im 90 short of requal now. And considering one more run over easter to boost it just in case!... Photos are up from the weekend: https://picasaweb.google.com/1093460...eat=directlink and the Trip Review should be up friday in full in the TR section. |
