Re: Quick question: Best SYD-MAD flights?
Assuming discount economy travel, you will earn more SCs by flying QF SYD-HKG, then BA HKG-LHR. The single flight number SYD-LHR will earn 60 Status Credits, while the SYD-HKG-LHR using two different flight numbers will earn 30+40=70 SCs each way. Add on the LHR-MAD for an extra 15 in each direction and you have 150 SCs using SYD-LHR-MAD vs 170 SCs for SYD-HKG-LHR-MAD routing.
