More or less FCO - HNL - FCO - DUS - LCY - OTP - DUS on four Tickets with a "few" stops in between. I only need to be careful not to credit to LH any more to receive my downgrade on February 29 to receive my upgrade after my first flight in March.

We actually started in Rome on January 1 at 6 AM with the flight from FC0 to ZRH. One leisure trip in first class and three business trips in business class and the mission was accomplished. Total expenditure close to 7000 Euro.

Next mission will be DUS - DXB - BKK - SYD - OOL - SYD - DXB - DUS all under Qantas flight number but more or less all operated by Emirates in first class to renew my BA executive gold membership and to do some work downunder. Costs for that again in the range of 7000 Euro.

Why is it so important to wait until after March 1st

Doesnt it count from upgrade year + 2 years?

Year the status was achieved + 2 years + first two months of the following year
In this case this means SEN until 02/2019, nearly three years from March 2016

But that still does not answer the question why to first wait for the downgrade on March 1st before you renew

Hi! I'm just wondering how do you normally do the booking in order to get this price. I mean 7000 EUR to fly first class to SYD is good. Did you book it directly via Qantas website? Thank you very much in advance for the tips.

Got it. A prolongation would only be good until 02/2018.

According to the purser we had 6 HONs and 40 SEN on a flight from GRU this week. It seems people still run for M&M.

This is the second year of my two year period - I was qualified as SEN to Feb 17. An F class on SQ CDG/SYD in February and an F class on LX AMS/BKK in March gave me about 104k miles for a cost of EUR 11,300. Requalifed to Feb 2019. Travel now switched to QR and other Oneworld to maintain my Emerald status.
