A 39K mile *A RTW ticketed in C could include 120 RTs FRA-CGN-FRA on the train. That would be over 600K status miles for $6-10K. Because of transfer restrictions, it would have to originate either in Scandanavia or outside Europe. It would take 2 to 3 weeks to complete. CGN Airail is scheduled to start 15 January. It should be possible to get over 10M status miles next year for not much more than $100K. If there is a good Airail promotion, I may decide to accumulate a lifetime supply of miles.

Am I missing something here?

I'm no RTW specialist, but wasn't there something like the trip has to be done on star metal? In this case AIRailing is not an option because it's operated by the German Railway.

But I may be mistaken here.
