Status Run Ideas?
For an easy and well-priced status run, our editor Tom found some excellent Business Class Saver fares from Adelaide to Canberra return via Melbourne for $573.35. These fares are available throughout the year, which gives some flexibility considering the current travel restrictions.
Since the route consists of 4 individual flight segments, you will earn a total of 50 credits per leg usually; however, thanks to the double status credits, this turns into 100 credits per flight or 400 credits total. Perfect if you’re looking to maintain status!

To reach Velocity Gold, you only need 500 status credits and 4 eligible sectors flown or 400 to maintain Gold for another year.
How Many Status Credits For Velocity Platinum?
To reach Velocity Platinum, you will need 1000 status credits and 8 eligible sectors flown or 800 status credits to maintain Platinum.
