Using miles or going for gold?

Unfortunately my A3G runs out end of august and I am based on CPT so won’t be able to do a mileage run with the four A3 flights required before then.

question 1:

I’ve been able to keep it almost 10 years now!.. But wondering will I go back to silver or start from scratch?

I can combine a trip in November with a mileage run for the 4x aegean flights but can someone confirm if I’ll need 6 at that point? That’s how I remember it.

question 2:

is about the trip in November;

i need to fly
CPT-AGP then AGP-BKK-TPE

I’m wondering about using A3 miles to book award ticket. Anyone has advice about which would be the most effective part of the ticket to use them on? I have approximately 174,000 and there are 2 traveling.

Question 3:

should I use the above trip to make the miles for gold and use the award miles for the person flying with me?

thanks for the advice
