My flying patterns allow me to barely make SE status for the following year - but I have been doing this when I first became SE in 2004.

So, if I can afford to fly on a Star Alliance partner - with the rule that I have to earn 50% of 100,000 AQMs flying AC - then I will fly one of LH or LX - except for the cheapest business class fares, they do offer 150% AQMs for mile flown - OS does not offer 150% on such cheaper (than full fare) business class fare.

Sometimes, such fares are cheaper from USA - so maybe I will take that option.

But if I can afford to fly on a non AC airline, and I really need the AQMs, then I might want to fly TAP - One can get 200% AQMs on all business class fares. Does anyone know about the business class seats on TAP planes flying TATL routes?
