As you are based in Berlin (at least I guess so ) you only need 400 tp's and after youor first BA flight to HKG in C you'll already have 360 points! So you could easily make it to BA gold within the summer. And as CX also offers a great product you can avoid LHR and route through FRA which is at least a little better

Don't know about status match with Flying Blue but I don't like this program and would always go for BA again!
