Do you need miles in any specific program to reach desired status level?
My own company, which is in effect me.

Its early in the year - who knows if I'll make SE again next year - or even if I
want to. I have changed my attitude to miles - I'll take the ones that come
my way, but not really go out of my way to get them.

For example, this ICN-YYZ leg that I need is coming at the end of a RTW
fare. The flights I actually needed would have totalled some 26,500 miles
if I flew everywhere in logical order, but I made it total 28,900 miles
by zigzagging a bit - at the cost only of a few hours on would have anyway
been travel days ( Flying ...CGK-PVG-BKK-TPE... instead of CGK-BKK-TPE-PVG)
