Normally I stay out of airport and aircrafts in the summertime but I have never flown in the summer as much as this summer. (40+ flights)

COVID was no issue. Double Points Promo was the issue.

Removing temporarily the 100 AY segments requirement for Lumo achievment or renewal would be great.

Why? It would further destroy the tier.

Spare a thought for the "300k+ TP mostly from OW flights" folks too! 350k TP needs to come from AY...

Everyone had extra 18 months tracking period so Lumo should be 400 segments and 1 million points now.

Reducing the benefis and lack of the possibility to use them destroys the tier.

Would you do it voluntarily as for example? If yes, you might be in hurry, that 18 (months) could go higher.

This is of course true. However I don't believe that making tiers easier to achieve is the right thing to do when it's either impossible or not fun to travel. I think extensions as they have been done now have been the right way to do it which by itself is like lowering the limit but still requiring effort.

What comes to LGG's 400 segment idea.... Well. That would be too much for us who are just getting used to the idea of segment running.

Why? It's only maths:
12 months 150 segments
6+6 months: 150 segments
6 months: 100 segments.

75 segments per year is enough for me, especially with lounges closed. (Although I'm sure my liver is happier this way)

So no Lumo by longhaul segments anymore?!
What are we going to do with all the money from Eurojackpot? I added €15 to my winnings the other week so we are on track for target.

I think that the idea is that you get Lumo by points by flying 720 segments in Light to ARN and OUL.

So i made it. Just when the whole thing is devalued ect.
At least i have now OWE guaranteed until march 2025 which was the main point. Also the chance of having a holiday in Thailand with few detour flying, so the process wasn't that bad.
Was it worth it? Time will tell.

Maybe im secretly hoping OW will make new top tier or someone like QR status matching.

Well I am not 100% sure anymore that OWE would be guaranteed past LUMO period...

Ay devaluation train is full speed ahead right into a dead end wall....

Congrats! I've been thinking about it. Sitting with 40/150 segments and 152/450k points now, 9months to go. Lumo would need either some good 2* promo with actual possibility to fly or serious pain in the butt leg gringing. Right now i don't see the value there (no PW, nothing special to eat onboard, no bmw, no champagne in shengen lounge) but it could change when things open up. And this could be the one chance since I find the grind from the start too demanding.
