1 Eurobonus flight short
Has anyone experience a situation where they are 1 flight short for upgrade to Gold status and managed to blag there way to a status upgrade?
I have been a gold member before but missed out last year as was off work ill. I know I could try arrange an extra flight and return but the cost would potentially out weigh any advantage of gold member status.
Anyone able to assist me back to Gold status?

Depending on your location it might not be too bad. A quick Intra Scandinavia, or domestic Scandinavia should not set you back too much.
I assume you qualify on segments, based on your post. But are you close enough to convert Extra Points to Basic Points and push above 45K. Or buy the last basic points you need.
I think SK tends to be very much by the numbers. I.e. hit the target to get the status.

And I don't know where you live, but Edinburgh might be also an option. And since you need only one flight you can return with some LCC. Just an idea.

I don't think the cost of a gold card is anywhere near that. Was the cost of required flights to attain gold card only being stated.
I can only assume by the responses that only possible way is to buy another flight and make a day return.
