I started Aug31, paused in ICT (work), and had originally planned and had confirmed flights for resuming trip on Feb 16. If you plug that in to GCM, take the total mileage, and using LP Calculator just use one of the 3 airlines, status exp, and it will spit out the toral. I'd do it but I'm one finger texting on my phone.
However, I had 280000+ LPs so wanted the LPs I'd earn to credit toward status for 2027. I won't bore you with the many stumbling blocks re availability--there are a lot of posts addressing that. I'm in Singapore, and will make my award flight home, but my TA is still trying to optimize points.
I'd tried to generate a discussion about maximizing points in this thread, but many thought ill of my post, perhaps a misunderstanding--I'm not known for being particularly concise and articulate.

Nice. May I ask how much you paid above base fare for this? And when? I assume airline fuel surcharges are rather higher now be a few weeks ago. May make exTYO more attractive again if I am correct on that limiting such charges
