Here we go again.. 😁😁
Have you calculated going for Lumo makes any real sense or just going for it as "you can"? How many segments a year you actually need to fly to be somewhere let that be for work or fun?
The perks over normal plat are not so great that I would calculate carefully. Running for Plat I can still understand but doing 150 segments...huhh..
If you go for it, I am sure you can read all HS for the last 5 years 😂
Edit: to further add my thoughts how to go for Lumo...I would never do 150 (or even 100-120 with upgrades..) Y segments a year...9x ex-EU to Asia rtn in J @1.200-1.500eur and 50k a pop = something like 12-13k€. 150 segments will cost a lot too no matter how booked..
Just food for thought..

I think OH-LGG could manage easily with less than 4k.

Maybe, and I understand the hobby aspects etc but it is sooo much time spent..but full respect, we all value things differently. 👍
Also, to add to the calculation..doing by points gives back MUCH more with 200/300/400k bonuses and points from flights on top, of course. And, you can stop at 350k and exchange the rest..

So you can virtually quit your office space at helvantaa and spare that money for new hobbies while moving your office onboard. Now I got it

In fact, I rarely run. I've held top tier for 9 years, basically going places I wanted to go, albeit mindful of points earning.
