My guess is AC will “enhance” away some of the parts of the program that I appreciate most while also putting SE out of reach in future years. This way I won’t have to think much about it until 2030.
Part of me wonders if I can organically get another 110k sqm this year to earn the banked year, but I doubt it.

But then, I’ve been around long enough to remember when 35,000 sqm got you *Gold, which also got you 3x 32kg bags pretty much on any Star Alliance partner n
