Sigh, may Finnair one day bring back the HKG and SIN status express ex BKK

Yes, they were the days. But the deals I mentioned are available you just need to overnight in KUL or SIN.

With my limited opportunities to fly within Australia, or maybe to NZ my average $ / SC is $15 so, yes, in my situation it is a good deal.

... or buying them AKL-SYD-AKL for around $US850 is even better. The SC's are a lot cheaper that way. I guess it depends what you are after.

How about this:

PER-SYD-AKL-SYD-PER $2748 return for 320 SC's. (travelling in Jan + avail)
Works out to $8.58/SC.

Now if I throw in my $300 QF voucher it gets even lower:

$2448 for 320 SC's.
Works out to $7.65/SC.

Can anyone find better ex PER?

While in AKL, book a few AKL-WLG-AKL returns for NZD71 each way; currently works out at AUD6 per SC.

And quickly satisfies the 4 segment rule

I had thought that SYD-CBR-MEL-CBR-SYD would be my choice if I ever really wanted QF status again.
