Have you thought about seeing if a business needs anything transported between these routes? Make some money on the side....make sure nothing illegal. Wouldn't that be icing on the cake!
Oh when oh when will I be able to get EXP by flying paid FC tix on QF from SYD to JFK?? or LHR-BKK-SYD/MEL... doesn't someone on the boards to do this? mr. pillows? the Aussie guy on BA?? when I can do this, i will have truly made it

Wow!
Having flown 18K BIS this past weekend, with 14 or 15K of it in coach, I don't think I could do 100K.
The business class seats may have made it tolerable for me. Got bumped and upgraded to J on a Delta 767 Intl with lay flat seats ATL-JFK. I wish it had been a longer flight, as this was the first time I had laid flat in 48 hours.
The thing that made it much easier for me was that 3 other people were flying some or all of the flights I was on.
I look forward to reading about your experience.
The fact that the status will last 2 years makes the experience more tolerable as well, IMHO.
If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

The logical extension of this is to then follow in each subsequent month in flying 100K (or whatever is required for top tier in a different FFP) - UA in Feb, DL in Mar, etc....
