Need 95 SC this weekend for Gold

[Paddy55]

Folks

Need 95 SC this weekend... and at least 2 QF/JQ flights to get to Gold before flying to US in Oct.

Any ideas for a relatively inexpensive way of doing it?

Thanks in advance

Paddy

SYD-AKL on LA (Business Class - 80 SCs)
AKL-CHC on JQ (JetFlex)
CHC-SYD on JQ (JetFlex) or QF

[Bundy Bear]

JQ35 Star Class SYD-MEL $329 for 40 SC 3:15pm - 4:45pm
QF133 Economy MEL-AKL $233 for 15 SC 18:05pm - 23:35pm
QF142 Business AKL-SYD $598 for 80SC 8:45am - 10:15am Sunday

That should do it, $1160 for 135SCs

Paging Serfty to check my work, or whether he has any better ideas.

A Challenge??

OK, this departs SYD 0815 Saturday and arrives back in SYD around 2025.

Sydney Canberra Twice should do it:

QF787 J 8.10AM 40SC $326
QF704 J 9.50AM 40SC $326
QF1477 Y 11.55 10SC $109
QF1422 Y 1.50PM 10SC $125

No duty free but done in a day, no early or late flights either.

Sydney Canberra Twice should do it: ...

Only problem is that if a QFF member does the same segment twice on the one day it can be a real PITA to get all the Points/SCs to post.

Also, you've omitted the $15.40 of CC fees.

Many thanks for some great ideas... doesn't anyone else sleep either!

Of course, you could go SYD-BNE-LAX-SYD arriving back in SYD 0615 Monday morning.

Cost is $1450, earn 100SC's and at least 15,000 QFF points.

I knew you don't sleep; with your initial post being at 4:09am, but for the rest of us; our posts were after 8:00am so we are just trying to avoid doing any real work.
