Question About Earning Gold from Silver
Hi! I've read and reread the XP page on FlyingBlue's website, and I must be dense, but I can't figure out this simple scenario.
I have an upcoming LHR-CDG-SFO-CDG-LHR booked in revenue F (J on EU segments). I think this nets me 15+60+60+15 XP's, so 150. That will being me to Silver, so they'll subtract 100 XP's, leaving me with 50. So far correct?
So how many more do I need for Gold within the same year? Is it 30 more (for 180 total in the year) or is it 180 after earning Silver, meaning I need an extra 130? Again, sorry that I can't figure this out on my own!
Also, just a comment, but the "Domestic" earning seems very low. Especially since JFK-LAX in DeltaOne, for instance, can run $4,000 return or more.
Thanks!

These flights will not grant Sky Club access even in F unless the pax is STE+.

YYZ-JFK in domestic First (booked in P or Z): 15 XP
JFK-HNL in Delta One (booked in Z): 6 XP
And you don't earn any XP nor miles on flights operated by WS, ticketed by DL. But you will earn both miles and XP on flights operated by WS and ticketed by WS.

If flying DL in the US from LAX-JFK, that is a domestic flight that earns you 6XPs in J (or what you guys call First class)
When I fly 1 hour from Frankfurt-Paris CDG in J, I earn 15XPs. Cuz it's international.
