Now that is some serious flying. Do you people actually ever leave an airport precinct?
It makes BAEC Gold seem like such an insulting descriptor for such exalted (and valuable to BA) beings. (As opposed to me who quibbled over a measly 120 gone missing when I reached lowly Silver
)
1. There are plenty of people on here who earn more (some much more) than that. They are the exalted ones, along with those that earn Gold on UK domestics or down the back.
2. I've been Gold for 4 years so that was all I clocked up in 12 months
3. It is amazing what a couple of RTW's can do to the TP balance
4. Last year was much worse, 4600 and no RTW's. But longhaul J makes it much easier.
This year will be a struggle. Very little BA flying as our corp deals are with VS, CX and BD. Plus my new love of AA miles for CX flying is taking me towards a black card....
