hmmm, Johan, you may be right. as I alluded to with my KLM "crazy points" comment above. I am actually having some trouble remembering way back then. I do recall however having to do something like 40 Euro segments in Business Class to requalify for Royal Wing. And although I do remember that their points did not necessarily have any correlation with miles, I figured that my average segment was about 1200 miles, and all were Business Class, so you are/were talking about a multiplier of 2x, so I figured (based on that back of the envelope math) 96,000, which is where I came up with the 100k comparison. But I do recall that some countries had better schemes, I did not live in one of them.
