"However, if I booked the EI flight LHR-DUB on the BA codeshare, then I'd have my 4 segments on my way out of Europe, and then I'd only need 4 segments some other time to attain the gold card? I am flying BA on NRT-LHR-OSL too, so putting myself on the BA codeshare on SYD-BNE-SYD would solve the 4-segment problem ont he way home?"
Sure would. BA OSL-DXB-LHR-DUB would do the silver card requirement. The BA codeshares in Oz would sort you out nicely there too for the Gold requirement

I checked out, and BA has limited codeshares on SYD-BNE with QF, and nothing with CX on the stretches I'm doing, so I'll just take a weekend in London during spring to get the 2 extra segments or so, then I'll be equipped with a gold card for the summers repeat performance...
I've used this trip to get into the OWE product and rules and after ahving read here and spoken with my travel agent I now know a lot more what I want to do on next trip, although the LHR-DXB-LHR seems to something that I'll do on every trip on my way out of Europe
Apart from that, flying over to LAX and then do a backtrack to some point in the Caribean and then back up to ANC, that should reap a few miles there, and since LAX-SXM isn't considered transcont, then I could do ANC-DFW-LAX-JFK and use CX ex-JFK to Asia
Maaany ideas
