KenF suggests that if Wynand wants to do the trip he outlined, he finds another QG group airline that flies to IST, so (and I don't think SN actually does IST anymore) this is just an example: LHR-X/WAW-BUD-X/ZRH-IST-X/BRU-LHR .

SN actually does not fly to IST. As far as I know, referring ty Wynand´s itinery the only QG partner airline flying to IST is TK. If this is the case, I do not see the point flying from BUD back to ZRH than forward to IST and on TK back to BRU. As I mentioned before, it is much more easier and less time consuming to go from BUD on TK straight to IST (keep my fingers cross that the award is available) and on LX via ZRH back to LHR.
