How about an all F booking from LAX to JFK on AA (180 TPs), JFK to LHR (180), LHR to SYD (330) so that by the time you arrive in SYD you have reached Silver with 690 TPs.

Can it be done any faster?
Would that qualify though as four flights of the qualifying total must be on BA metal?

Edit: forget the above, EDI-LHR-LAX is two!
