amex for example does allow enough sectors, but even though it is only priced in Z rather than J. How much (in €) is the fare difference for MUC-GVA-ZRH-VIE-ZRH-GVA-MUC so to check if it's worth going for it? Thank you!

I did LHR-SIN-SYD-SIN-LHR over a weekend. Left work at 18:00 on Friday, went to LHR. Dep LHR at 22:00, arrive SYD at 05:50 +2 - time for breakfast and lunch on Bondi Beach with friends. Dep SYD 15:40 arrive LHR 05:55 +1, and went to work. 22,000 miles or so, and about £700 on SQ (IIRC).

Oh, right up the back. This was in March 2005. According to M&M statement, it was 21,286 miles.
I did LHR-SIN in June this year, which was about £650 (?) and got me 13,500 (an E class fare IIRC).
For the interest of all - I was a bit worried about trekking the wife around Europe to earn 23,750 miles (costing £740). An interesting equivalent is LHR-FRA-LAX in B class (150% of miles), which costs £753 in October (out Fri/Sat, back Sun/Mon), and is showing reasonable avails. Earns 23,378 miles if you're a SEN/FTL.
(However, she decided she'd rather bash round Europe in C than go somewhere interesting in Y).

(I rest my case, your honour).
LAX: I'd rather sit in a 747 watching films and sleeping, before going for a cruise round LAX and having Sunday breakfast in a diner, rather than hop on and off an endless number of A320 / ARJ100 / Dash 8 / 900's and have 7 hours sleep in an airport hotel at VIE before doing it all again in reverse.

Next January I will be on a CRW RTW to work on my SENhood requalification. I guess I will book a nice Q-UP on domestic UA F once in the US to complete the entire process within 10 days....

Just another mileage run question
I know this already has been discussed widely, but routes and especially prices change. So maybe the one or other expert can give me a short advise.
I need additionally 25K status miles this year to renew SEN Status until 02/11 and to be free again for the next years. What is the cheapest and fastest way nowadays to achieve this goal?
Thank you!!

Do a search about the famous HON RUN in the LH forum. There is a way to make ~ 12K miles for about 600-700 Euro. Just do it twice.
You would fly within a day something like MUC-GVA-ZRH-VIE-ZRH-GVA-MUC on Swiss in Business Class (J fare)
There has been a thread about the whole business just a few days ago...

Qs
To answere this question, more information is required.
:-: Where is your basis, from where you will start the Miles Run?
:-: What amount are you willing to spent?
:-: What traval class is the minimum/maximum.
:-: When do you plan to do this miles run? Weekend, during the week?
:-: Can you do several miles runs or do you prefere cleaning it in one go? (Note: This weekend, I did 17 flights for 32000 miles, spending €1300 including Hotel and public transport, but I was very tired afterwards)
:-: Do you have any specific destination or are you open for short term offers?
:-: etc
:-: etc
Based on those answeres, FT can help you. But, as said earlier, miles runs are personal and anyone has to find his personal fit.
