Be careful about avois/miles expiry. Have you used your BA/EY Avois/miles?

Status/tier level is only by flying for most people. BIS - Butt in seat is the jargon here on FT. And AA status will not get you US domestic lounge access. Chicago/NYC 2-3 times a year and one round trip to Bangalore India and back will not get you that many miles or status earning
I typically use the avios to upgrade to first from business or economy premium from economy when flying international. A round trip to India, i earn close to 24k miles and with domestic flights, i earn enough to maintain the tier level of silver with BA. However last year i couldnt fly international because of which i lost the silver tier which i dont want to happen again.

I'm not sure this is something possible. But thank you for your response.
