most miles SAN-BNE

January 06th, 2009 | Category: zjnz.com
  • I'm thinking of going to Australia and am trying to figure out the most miles I can get from SAN to BNE. There is a sale through 7/11 and I can book it on AA.

    SAN-SJC-LAX-SYD-BNE seems to be the best so far. Has anyone paid the extra $100 for a SYD stopover and gotten more miles? Perhaps then I can go SAN-SJC-LAX-BNE-SYD (3 days) SYD-BNE (3 days) BNE-SYD-LAX-SJC-SAN.

    Any other ideas? Will going through AKL get me more miles? I doubt I can route through Tokyo.


  • Re LAX-AKL-BNE: If the flight number does not change, you would only get the miles for LAX-BNE. You need to change flights if you want to get LAX-AKL + AKL-BNE.

    Re the Red e-deals: one thing to remember is that QF have been rather stingy about letting people on Red e-deals stand-by for other flights the same day. If you purchase a separate ticket, and therefore are not protected if there are delays to the international flight, it might be worth allowing a flight or two in-hand instead of connecting straight on. Example, spend the day sightseeing in SYD then catch the SYD-BNE flight towards the end of the day.


  • Not sure that's the trip you really want to extend for mileage running...isn't it long enough as it is? :D

    First, what about connecting in MEL? ...LAX-MEL-SYD-BNE?

    Also, Look at ending your ticket at SYD, then buying a separate ticket SYD-BNE (using QF's "Red E-Deals"). SYD fares can sometimes be cheaper than BNE fares, and get you that "stopover" for less money than paying for it.

    Finally, look also starting your trip in LAX. That may shave off a few bucks (althouh mileage will be reduced as well).


  • Most of the fares are MPM. Take some short flights around LAX, e.g. some subset of SAN-SJC-SNA-SFO-PSP-LAX. Or PHX if MPM allows it.


  • The Qantas Red E-Deals are a deal! I'll have to work in one or two while I am in Australia - too bad I'll only get 50% mileage. Is there a catch since I'm not an Australian and/or don't have an Australian address?

    No catch. Just go to the website and book.

    Did you quote out just going SAN-SYD, then buying a red e-deal SYD-BNE-SYD on a separate ticket? I have a feeling it may be cheaper this way, especially when you consider that SYD-BNE is A$172 RT all in (or about USD $120).

    Then you can route your SAN-SYD ticket say SAN-LAX-MEL-SYD.


  • If I route LAX-Auckland-BNE (QF26?) do I get only the direct LAX-BNE mileage? Would I be better off booking LAX-SYD-BNE? Or is going through SYD a hassle? I was thinking about doing BNE-SYD-LAX on the way back to check out the lounge. :)

    Starting at LAX is about $150 cheaper but becomes a wash when I factor in driving up to LAX (from SAN) and parking up there.

    The Qantas Red E-Deals are a deal! I'll have to work in one or two while I am in Australia - too bad I'll only get 50% mileage. Is there a catch since I'm not an Australian and/or don't have an Australian address?

    They really are a deal. When I was down under, I was quite surprised at how cheap it was to fly around the country.
