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)
Provided the flights are all within the 3 months of your challenge then it will work
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
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
I just did a little happy dance there
My flights are Sept 19/Sept 27 for the BOS-LHR-BOS long haul
My planned short haul is Dec 6/Dec 15 for the BDL/BOS-MCO.
I'm flexible enough that I can do the short haul in Oct Nov if the December plans fall through (sept is set in stone).
How long does it take for the Platinum status to actually show up in the system?
