The only slight hurdle is you need to get 24K for *S (w/o the A3 segments) before getting the 48K for *G. But once you've got to *G you only need 24K to retain it (again, assuming no A3 flights).
Thank you for your advice,
I do see your point, if I take my journey 2 times a year, it will be:
5898 X 200% X 4 legs = 47184 miles
good for redemption and almost there for gold 2nd year.
I need to have an artificial leg perhaps routing like this, BRU-CPH-ARN-HKG could earn more miles.
if I don't take SK-A/P but go for LH-P, it will be another case, lol
