Cool QF Status chase for 2009

Well another FF-year has passed for me, 1 Nov is my FF year start. I was hoping to comp Mrs! Gold again, but with my long flights in J being on Singapore and a change of company policy in March, she missed out.

I lost 1510 ststus credits overnight, this is one of my lowest earning years for a long time on QF, however, this year I attained silver on DJ (thats not a brag either - I'm dissapointed I spent that much time in the red birds) and also flew DeathStar more times than I care to mention...

I'm actually sitting outside "eat-n-runway" at gate 43 BNE, it's not a good look that my first flight for the FFyear is a DJ!! I did say in my FERAL post that I wouldn't fly DJ again but these flights were pre-booked.

My aim for the upcoming year is to have Mrs! comp Gold again. My outlook is good with a few long hauls on the future in J and on QF or AA, so who knows.

Happy FF YEAR Everyone!! and many status earns

Re: QF Status chase for 2009

As it happens, today marks the start of my year as well. I am aiming to requalify as gold based on what I can see me doing over the next year.

Good luck with your goal Mr!

I "lost" ~3400 SC's this morning ... for me the most ever.

It's a bit disconcerting to see:

Last year I went overboard and re qualified altogether by Nov 8, but I am taking it a bit easier this time.

(Should also have LTG stitched up by Monday as well )

Re: QF Status chase for 2009

My year restarts today as well. Only lost 395 SCs but was comped to gold, my 4th year as Gold. Also lost SQ PPS overnight...
Will easily requalify for Gold this FF year with 2 J return trips to Bangkok and Tokyo planned so far. Not sure whether I can make a run for QF WP status, but unlike others, I refuse to be a self funded WP!. I shouldn't be complaining but it is impossible to make a non direct flight when someone else is picking up the tab, even if the trip is cheaper via a Circle Pacific, DONE etc

Got to hate those requirements to take the most direct route possible

Re: QF Status chase for 2009

I have plenty of time to sew up Platinum status until May 2010.

For next year I am hoping that BA WT+ airfares return to their previous levels and with the CX I class specials BKK-SIN continuing and with a little domestic travel should see me easily qualify Platinum until May 2011 and closer to Lifetime Silver.
