No matter, since I qualify by segments.
That is another opportunity if you are based in Spain. I am also considering qualifying by segments, as I would like to see as much of Spain as possible.
However, qualifying via segments would require 90 flights, which—starting from FRA—would mean flying roughly every two weeks throughout the year. I could only do this on weekends, and on Saturdays I would need to complete a same-day round trip, which would be quite demanding. Overall, I think this would be very challenging to sustain.
