No IMHO its not too easy to get. I struggled to keep my Silver this year (GBOAC I will not mentioned regions) as I did not have the opportunity to fly as much with BA as I would have liked.

But you are flying on a long haul route every week with a massive TP and miles earning potential, a lot of folk just dont have this advantage you have.

For someone in the UK the most we can earn on a domestic rtn is 40TPs, if European then the max we could earn is 80TPs, then we have to start looking at long haul routes to make up the big TP runs.

I think its easy for you to earn Gold but not was easy for others, does it mean that it should be made harder for us again to make Silver or Gold? I think not.

Anyway do you need someone to carry your bags on your trips? I dont mind moving
