Tier point update 21st Mar 2025

Edging closer. The JFK-HKG CX flight has posted as 240 moving me up to 99,455.



The only outstanding flights remaining to post are the three from yesterday:

HKG-CGK (140)
CGK-KUL (40)
KUL-NRT (140)

That puts me at 99,845 flown points. 155 to go.

Another day I went with the Hakone Tozan Railway which can be reached out from Odawara. Both trips where very nice but I wasn't able to take a picture of the holy mountain without cloud.

No, its the date of the flight thats important, not the date the points post.

Mrs. Majuki was frustrated with the shuttle times during our most recent stay there and was not pleased with the prospect of that walk, especially with luggage in tow.

Glad you finally completed the RTW itineraries and avoided the IRROPS at LHR!

Super also to meet and play a small part in your epic adventure. And very happy to see that your bad luck of catching the wrong train at Narita was more than adequately balanced by the good fortune of a cloudless view of Fuji-san! I'll be watching this thread with bated breath for news of the final tier points posting to take you past the finish line.

Would it be rude to make up 3 more 1-line posts?

Well hello there. I think that would be frowned upon and against the rules

Go and find some other threads. There’s some good travel tech forums where you can apply your expertise and make three posts.

By the power vested in me by Internet Brands and because I really want to see the picture, I've arbitrarily awarded you 5 additional posts. Let the posting occur!

He looks remarkably relaxed after such an arduous trip. He must have found it invigorating to be with a daughter.

I think the R&A has banned the 3 handed grip.
