I’m in the odd position of hoping that ticket prices go up as the year progresses.
If you are buying economy class fares and really want to remain diamond have you thought about buying first class fares? That will help you get more MQDS, plus you will get the bonus MQM's and not have to play the upgrade game and will have more flexibility with SDC if you want on another flight
