If you travel long-haul on fares that earn 1.5 EQP then it can be easy to complete the challenge (SYD-LAX
1-way in T is enough do it)
Does this plan work?
Provided the flights are all within the 3 months of your challenge then it will work
Also, how is the 3 month period that they give you to achieve the miles figured? Is it three months from the day you call, or is it a 3 month calendar period that you pick or what?
Nowadays you get to choose the calendar period
You cannot request too far in advance - so maybe say four weeks before you first flight. And you request the period to start say the day before, or even the day of, your first flight
