Question on eligible flights for Golden Circle status match

Hi,

According to the Golden Circle website I need to fly three times on SIA to match my status.
Does this refer to separate bookings or flight segments?
For example if I book one return ticket Zurich-Bali with Stopover in Singapore, will this count as flying four times and hence will be enough for the status match?

Many thanks!
If you are a Golden Circle Jade member, you can enjoy an accelerated upgrade to KrisFlyer Elite Gold simply by flying three times on Singapore Airlines or SilkAir in any booking class except ‘G’ (Group fares) within four months of registration. Award and codeshare flights are not eligible for this accelerated upgrade.

If you are Golden Circle Diamond member, you can enjoy an accelerated upgrade to KrisFlyer Elite Gold by simply flying onceon Singapore Airlines or SilkAir in any booking class except ‘G’ within four months of registration. Award and codeshare flights are not eligible for this accelerated upgrade.

AFAIK it's counting individual segments, and yes, ZRH-SIN-DPS r/t should be sufficient.

"... in any booking class except ‘G’ (Group fares)"

So does I fares (Business Award) qualify? Though I don't really need KF Gold since I'm already *A Gold, but it's no loss to me to fly 4 SQ segments.

I fares are award flights, and as mentioned in their T&C, award flights do not count as eligible segments.

It's all in the T&Cs: 3 segments, paid flights, non codeshare, not 'G' class, within 4 months of registration... and you're good.
