Well, if you do the lack of challenge then you can get AA Gold very quickly in K class. SYD-PER is about 2040 miles each way, so one round trip would accrue you 4080 qpoints. With the challenge you need to get 5000 qpoints in 3 months so any 2 other sectors will complete it as long as you do them within the 90 days, or if you end up with a need to travel H class one way, then with the 50% qpoint bonus , your 1st trip will have you gold.
