Fast track to silver tier?

I managed to get silver tier last year but only travelled once... so I am back to being a blue member.
Is there a fast-track to silver tier? Based on departing from London Heathrow and open to opting for FLEX tickets as tier points are faster to gain

Does anyone have a strategy?

In Y New Zealand would get you 24,500 tier miles on a flex plus ticket, 22,000 if you flew to Sydney - both options just short. If you flew J I am pretty sure you would still have to fly the same distance to achieve over 25,000 in one flight. If you flew F flex then you could get silver by flying to Asia probably.

If you have status with another competing airline they may grant you a match back to Silver especially if you have future travel already booked.

Log in to Skywards and use the following link to upload a picture of your current card with elite status, screenshot of last 12 months flying/statement, and write a nice note asking for consideration for a match in light of your X planned or Y previous travels on EK or other airline.
