Yes it would be a lot of trips in Europe, but I might be able to squeeze them in! I would need to get to DUB to make the US trip. As I am living near London, what routing would you suggest? thanks
You can call BA to extend your earning year by up to 2 weeks. So potential to keep earning until 22 July. If you think you can get Gold early in the following year though, better to start afresh. Gold will last until the end of the FOLLOWING year. So if you qualify early in an earning year, it will effectively last up to 2 years.
