“Your idea of flying Qatar from Japan to Edinburgh via Hel is a great idea.”

Think it was just a typo in your post but it’s QR from TYO to EDI via DOH, not HEL.

That trip would net you Silver, its got over 600 TPs in it, 5x140 in the long haul segments plus 40 for OSL>LHR and whatever it gets in Japan, before you do the mini trip, which is another 280, if it’s EDI>DOH>OSL, so over 1000 TPs in total.

Plus a wedge of Avios, although any BA or AA segments will likely be reduced over previous levels, as now revenue based from feedback from other recent RTW flyers?
