Our recommendation for an intermediate status run

Starting from Brisbane

If you're a little more familiar with status runs or need a few more credits, this is a good run to earn a bigger chunk and also get to a great destination.

The fact that you can sip your sparkling wine in Business Class all the way makes it that little bit sweeter!

The toughest part is finding availability in Business Class to Queenstown. Also, make sure you book with the Qantas multi-city tool - instructions are below!

Important information

For itineraries that include an international sector, all connecting flights must have no layover longer than 24 hours in order to be priced on the combined distance flown. You can view the Qantas Classic Flight Rewards table here for distance and pricing.

Status Credits are earned per flight sector and can be calculated using the Qantas Status Credit earn table, which outlines the accrual rates for Points Club and Points Club Plus members.

Points Club & Points Club Plus members are only eligible to earn status credits on Qantas & Qantas Link marketed and operated Classic Reward flights.
