If you're fine with probably not being able to make use of the 30% boost from ancillaries which are mostly only available to Spanish residents (with a few exceptions) and doing it all just on flight spend, then nothing, really. It's roughly £24k for two years of OWE, or about £16k for a single year, and realistically even less once you include the bonus elite points for buying higher fare classes.
