I would highly recommend it
You would recommend spending 3800 euro's to spend 8 days in a plane to retain a card that gives you access to lounges?

I recommend xONEx's (especially if the first x is either an A or a D) for a long holiday or even multiple holidays (with some clever breaks here and there) but I have never understood mileage runs like this.

That being said: I went from blue to gold in one AONE6. I took 6 months and enjoyed the ride. Who needs a gold card when holding a First ticket?
