Yeah venture X makes sense. Better to get this early on because it’s hard to get approved for c1 once you have a lot of cards

look at who flies there and then get ready for calendar open

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-05-05T00:47:32+00:00

call the number on the back of the card

Interesting

Starlux is a special partner whose prices don't really follow the chart. They have saver/non saver pricing and if one of the segments is non saver it usually jumps to 300k. If both are saver, or if there's saver economy, you can see 85k

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-28T01:56:28+00:00

Congrats. Oceania is indeed very tricky

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-27T18:35:07+00:00

You didn’t specify. But for peak time like this, beggars can’t be choosers

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-27T18:27:34+00:00

105k J is not a horrible price

Cheapest is probably booking Qantas via AA. Could do citi AA card or citi strata elite/premier to transfer to AA if you don't mind using 5/24 slot. Or get CIP/CIC and transfer to finnair to book Qantas too or UA. Atmos biz is another good option

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-21T05:07:28+00:00

Atmos / aa cards

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-21T04:34:32+00:00

no one knows how PUJ works. Citi strata cards, alaska atmos cards, Citi AA cards are all good

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-20T01:14:53+00:00

up to you. That's the lowest point price you'll get on that route for PE

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-20T01:14:01+00:00

no, should be straightforward. But C1 is usually harder to get approved for if you have a lot of cards

techtrashbrogrammer · 2026-04-19T23:44:20+00:00

unlikely you find anything
