Good Little SC Earners - Not so obvious International flight options

[browski]

Well I'm not sure if this thread will have any legs but we'll see. Recently I tried to start compiling a list of purchaseable flights between 2 destinations where neither destination is a home of the airline.

The idea being that these flights tend to be good little Status Credit earners. Sometimes they are not obvious flight options.

I have started with a list of OW carriers but I'd like to include others like MAS and EK If anyone knows a few obscure favourites maybe they could respond and I'll try place them all into a consolidated list.

For Example:

Japan Airlines
Vancouver - Mexico City
New York - Sao Paulo
Singapore - Kuala Lumpur

Royal Jordanian
Bangkok - Hong Kong

Cathay Pacific
Dubai-Mumbai
Dubai - Bahrain
Bangkok - Mumbai
Bangkok - Karachi
Bangkok - Colombo
Bangkok - Singapore
Singapore-Colombo
Vancouver - New York (JFK)
Taipei - Fukuoka
Taipei - Nagoya
Taipei - Tokyo
Taipei - Osaka
Taipei - Seoul

British Airways
Johannesburg - Cape Town
Johannesburg - Durban
Johannesburg - Port Elizabeth
Johannesburg - Windhoek
Johannesburg - Mauritius
Johannesburg - Victoria Falls
Johannesburg - Livingstone
Johannesburg - Harare
Cape Town - Durban

Muscat - Abu Dhabi
Bahrain - Doha

Sydney - Singapore
Sydney - Bangkok

Nassau - Grand Cayman
Nassau - Providenciales
Antigua - Grenada
Antigua - Tobago
Barbados - Port of Spain

QANTAS
London - Singapore
London - Hong Kong
London - Bangkok
Frankfurt - Singapore
Los Angeles - Auckland

You don't get QF SC's with MAS & EK. SC 's are specific to the QF freq flyer progamme on QF and some QF partner flights. Every ffp has its own unique earn & burn.

On the star alliance side UA operate a few inc. SIN-HKG and SIN-TYO.

I'm sure there's more.

This is a useful thread. Just thought I'd contribute and let you know Barbados - Port of Spain (BGI-POS) doesn't seem to be operated by BA anymore, at least according to their route map.

I can't remember from when, but I'm fairly sure JAL are discontinuing their SIN-KUL v.v from some time this year.

January 17 was the announced date.

For star alliance, can apply the same principle, particularly when it comes to Air NZ "status points" which are not unlike QF status credits.

For SQ there are heaps, NRT-LAX, HKG-SFO, FRA-JFK, ICN-SFO, DME-IAH, DXB-IST, DXB-CAI, DXB-RUH, AUH-KWI, AUH-JED, and soon MUC-MAN. UA also offer services like NRT-ICN, NRT-PEK, NRT-BKK, NRT-TPE,

EK flies from AKL to BNE don’t they, or is it SYD? Either way it’s cheap.

Some of the flights you’ve listed could be potentially very expensive. How about narrowing down the list to acceptable SC/$ levels.

This is an old thread which I'd inadvertently resurrected. Not sure if the OP would consider spending the time to amend?

Billund - Düsseldorf
