GGL in one trip (requalifying)

Have been having fun creating the highest TP EARNING itinerary i could in my system and came up with this AONE4 fare - and thought some of yo folks might wanna admire in awe or even book something crazy like this. i will leave it here for inspiration of how many TPs are possibly on 1 ticket:


2970 tier points for about 8,500 GBP

The earning ratio is poor. I’ll stick to Sofia. You only need 20 to renew GGL

Where do I sign up? I'll gladly fly the route in the name of anyone who wants the status but not the BIS, assuming they are paying, of course. And I guess they'd have to look a little like me on their passport photo.

If I recall correctly, AONE fares should be in First.

Impressive. I wonder if I could book that fare on the Amex Travel portal and pay with MR points? Probably not...

I think booking this is the biggest challenge. so doubt anyone not well versed in booking RTW can make it happen, let alone some amex online tool

Wouldn't the DOH and DXB shuffles from LHR go against the rules?

How did you estimate the taxes/surcharges on the £6230ish base fare? Maybe one for another time once we see how our DONE5 Gold requalifying RTW goes this Autumn…but it’s only netting about 1780 TPs.

Backtracking within a 'continent' is permitted on oneworld RTW fares and Europe/Middle East is counted as a 'continent'. Can only do each city pair once, though, so can't just shuttle between LHR and DXB continuously, say.
