MR in LY

All our neighbor forums this time of year have discussions about MR's. Since in Matmid the status miles are calculated for 12 months we don’t have a "MR season".
Does anyone do MR's with Matmid?
Have any of you done MR's in the past?
Do you want to share your experience?

I know someone who did a mileage run once. Problem is that to get most bang for buck, meaning the most possible points, you're usually stuck to LY or an LY codeshare, which means constantly flying back and forth from TLV, their only hub. It's much easier in the US for example, to do a mileage run, where, if you're with UA, you have 5 hub to choose from PLUS 2 airlines (CO and US) to codeshare with.

Other than M&M what other FF programs are bases on a calendar year?

Only MR I ever did on LY was many years back, when I was missing some point for Gold so took a quick flight to LCA and all sorted.

Did you stay overnight in LCA or did you manage to catch the return flight back?

Did a same day turn around.
I think I was on the ground for less than an hour.

I remember the looks I got when the crew saw me back on board.
I was in C and the FA asked me whether I wanted yet the same meal I had just about an hour earlier...

Never heard of it. Had to do a search for it, and Google only wanted to show me sites related to Washington D.C. Finally searched on Wikipedia, and found it was an airline called Golden Air. But they aren't a member of *A. The only connection they seem to have to *A is a partnership with Blue1, with all flights to/from Helsinki flown for them. But I don't think that's what you meant...

How did you manage to book that? Just wrote the same day return, and LY had no problem booking you with only 1 hour between flights?

And did you get the same meal

Oh, sorry! It's funny, because as soon as I posted, I had a funny feeling you meant bmi. But that program is folding into M&M anyways.

I Did once, TLV -> CDG -> TLV with Over night (Flying Sunday Returning Monday), Then TLV -> MAD -> TLV returning the same day, And the day after, flying to Las-Vegas... If you want to call it MR, then call it MR... 8-)
(it didnt helped me much for any status), But it did gave me an excuse to recover at the Rhinos! 8-)
