Thanks for all your replys!

I am only travelling one way MAA - PVG additionally i am travelling MAN - MAA one way the week before (August).

Right now i am 11824 tier miles short of Gold.

MAN - MAA gives me 4500 and MAA - PVG is 5200 leaving me with 2124 to find before Sept 30th.

What is most agonizing is that the only Mileage run i can fit in (and justify the expense) is BKK - HKG (Based in BKK from Mid Aug) in Sept for around £200 which only gives 2000 TM leaving me 124 miles short.

Any idea's guys???
