So your total EP is 1842 EP for 1454 EUR so 0.8eur/EP which is not good since it's euro-J. You can do Mad-Opo return for 257eur on J-comfort for 0.35eur/EP and spend absolute minimum time in euroJ.

6 times at 1500eur in euroJ to get Platino Prime?? Just then to fly longhaul in PE? I would rather allocate my cash to fly J longhaul instead of euroJ points running...
Thank you very much for the information. I had assumed that the additional Elite Points would be calculated separately.

Could you please advise how many Elite Points I would earn for this booking? I have booked three round trips in J Optima at the same fare, scheduled between mid-January 2026 and early February 2026.

At the time of booking, I intended to credit the flights to Cathay in order to retain my Silver status, so I did not check the Elite Points. As I have now decided not to credit further flights to Cathay, I would appreciate knowing the Elite Points that will be earned for these upcoming bookings. Thank you.
