How many sectors to Lifetime Solitaire?
How many sectors to Lifetime Solitaire?
PPS Lifetime Solitaire is 1000 sectors or 1.8 million miles - only SQ business and first count - (each eligible flight earns between 1.25 and 6 sectors depending on class and length). For more info visit the SQ forum. PS I am a looooong way short of that.

Kiwi Flyer,so you re-qualified PPS and *G Elite (Air NZ?), but what was the third FF program you re-qualified?? (sorry, dumb question from a OW flyer)...
Also, how much did the trip cost - ballpark will do.

Great report, Kiwi Flyer, but once again a truly crazy itinerary. Any non-FTer would consider you certifiably insane!
There's a fairly dodgy looking bird around which I think is a hangover from the old days of Canadi>n. Is this the one?

Anyway, I have to correct you here: the cathedral in the centre of Kosice is St Elisabeth Cathedral. But the chapel next to it is St Nicholas Chapel
(In fact, it is even older than Cathedrale)

Hi
You guessed right. I have been offline the past couple of days travelling, during which period you sent me an email. Lets keep this by email.
Thanks

I too have just discovered this thread for the first time. An amazing trip, a fun read and, best of all, it is sparking off lots of @:-)@:-)@:-)s
Absolutely! Many of my friends thought my own recent big trip was just a succession of flights and airports, yet it was thoroughly relaxed compared to this But then, we are FTers, so we can see the attraction and be suitably jealous!
I would love to do a *A RTW one of these days, but the trick will be how to do it without losing my OW status
