I need some status miles to retain BD *S so what I might do is take the short EI hop DUB-MAN-DUB (there is some crazy prices BD DUB-LHR-DUB, have a look if your looking for a laugh, it ain't pretty!) and then MAN-BSL-MAN on a Z fare. Can I get the help of a resident expert to make sure I have calculated the status miles MAN-BSL correctly: Z - 1,600 base + 4,800 bonus = 6,400 status miles?
