Hello all and sorry in advance for the rather multi-layered question.

I would be the first to admit that this is a borderline insane plan. As my flying is going to be cut down a lot in 2020, i will no longer requalify platinum by segments that year. However, I have been reading these forums far too long to be content with letting my status drops so easily, although my status is merely the result of a long-distance EU-JPN relationship that will finally stop being long-distance next year.

I am doing a longer trip to JPN next spring. I have been trying to think of some ways to incorporate a milage run into this trip to net me about 100k points which would be enough for me to keep my status.

So far, the best plan I have come up with is a MXP-HEL-JFK-HEL-MXP ticket combined with a JFK-HEL-NRT(airport transfer)HND-OKJ/KIX-HEL-JFK ticket, all AY coded in class I (except for HND-OKJ, which is JL in class J). This would, granted, be a little costy (4500 €, + positioning).

The other option I have been considering would somehow involve DEL, however DEL (and the rest of SE Asia) seems to be extremely unnatural. One option which would get med the points would be to utilize some kind of HEL-DEL-HEL + DEL-HEL-YYZ-HEL-DEL combination; however I cannot figure out how to make this one take me into JPN XD. Similarly, I have a problem with the otherwise interesting ARN-LHR-HEL-LAX-HNL-LAX-HEL-LHR-ARN route; I cannot see any good way to add JPN to this.

I would appreciate any input any of you more experienced milage accumulators could share about this. Any better/more cost effective solutions than the JFK route? The long hauls should preferably be in J, but I can also consider trips involving some segments in Y.

BONUS question: My other plan would be to obtain lifetime OWS with JL instead (those familiar with JL will know that this in practice means qualifying OWS once). The idea behind this one would be that as I would continue to qualify AY Silver every year, the OWS by JAL would grand me boarding group 1, lounge access and free seat selection. However, is it possible to enjoy status benefits from JL OWS and AY Silver at the same time, as only one card can be registered on the BP (although technically, I have never seen any formal mention of a status only existing if it is in the BP? So do you think this would make any sense at all?

Thank you in advance for your input and have safe flights!
