@ KiwiFlyer,

thanks for providing some links!

I had a quick look at your CRWSTAR2 (+ turnaround trip ZRH-MAN-ZRH in Raffles on an extra paid ticket) you did a year ago: It looks you had pretty much the same intentions like now: You are maxing out to 24 segments, include destinations where you don’t leave the airport and are prepared to fly huge detours in order to gain perks in some of your preferred FFPs. Without going into details, skipping FRA-SIN-CGK-SIN and continuing FRA-PEK-SIN-AKL you would ended up on a CRWSTAR1 (5K miles less) and still have some extra miles left to burn.

It looks like you are prepared to pay a high price and spend some additional time on airports and planes in order to gain elite status in your preferred FFPs on a fast track. Hopefully you get back at least what you had in mind as you started.

All the best on the continuation of your journey!
