Getting Gold next year
If you manage to get Silver prior to the DONE4 or at least close to it, then I am sure we can work out a bit of a fiddle to get Gold quite easily with a Europe address. The 2000+ mile 120 points for D make 800 continental points not
As for BWI and WTP well I have no idea when it will happen. To avoid the overnight from BWI, I am now taking the day flight from IAD so I can do the economy rather than Club or WTP thing and still arrive in shape.
Have you thought about the ex-LIS/Faro/Oporto fares for SFO and WAS? This should see you in Club for little more than your WTP from LON.
If you go to BAEC then it should work for the reasons you gave. I cannot comment on the decision to leave AA, that is best done by someone who knows the relative merits of both programmes.
Remember to give me a shout to maximise your DONE4 benefits
