Congratulations! And you even have one month to spare – holiday month = no flying? 
I highly doubt that OH-LGG could have achieved Platinum more cost effectively (=in a cheaper way) than this. He's the ultimate AY Platinum run expert... And those ARN-PRG-HEL tickets are, for some reason, supercheap.

I assume the policy changes and also leaves some room for the case handler. Dependong on the occurence, I have seen any of the following:
- Apology or thanks.
- Choice of Finnair Plus points or travel discount code.
- Finnair Plus points.
- Onboard purchase voucher (via snail mail).

Using this old topic but today I got 76 segments full by flying ARN-HEL. :-: Feels like Platinum comes too easy nowadays, 76 flights wasnt so bad.
But now in the new world of AY Plus it's only half way and it feels like nothing achieved.
So, 5 months left and 74 flights needed for next level. Game starts immediately with segments #77 and #78 tomorrow. Lets do that freaking Lumo !

Somehow I have the feeling that if/when you're done, you'll be one of the very few who qualifies to Lumo by segments
PS - I think AY never thought that intorducing Lumo level would mean they'd have to raise capacity HEL-ARN

Will you please advise what is the driving force on these segment runs? Do you simply like spending time at airport and plane? I can understand someone flying somewhere once or twice just to reach next tier if that makes majority of other flights more convenient but I don't understand if someone flies this much just to reach higher tier which gives no real value?
My purpose is not to be awkward but I'm simply interested if I have missed something...
