10 sector run over 3 days....

My first FB run tomorrow aiming to tip me over Platinum requal - wouldn't usually be an issue but I wanted to keep BA Silver this year and renew FB Plat while I burn down my BA Avios.

I have a KLM Business MAN/BGO return with SAS Plus nested BGO/TLL on seprate tickets, the original schedule was Tue to Fri with overnights to make me feel better about the separate tickets, however that had me coming back on Good Friday so needed to tweak it to the following.

Tue - MAN/AMS/BGO.
Wed - BGO/CPH/ARN/TLL.
Thur - TLL/ARN/CPH/BGO/AMS/MAN.

It was fun avoiding 'domestic' legs on SAS when planning it and i believe i will see 120XPs from this. Thursday makes me nervous but hoping that if something does go wrong, even with seprate tickets, i'll get some goodwill, maybe a shorter route home and be able claim ORC, if not I'll suck it up!

I'm assuming(?) FB plat on SAS plus will get me lounge access.....anything I should watch out for here, most.connectuons are 1hr20 plus.

What could possibly go wrong :-)
