Hi all,
Apologies if this is a dumb question or something already asked - I couldn't seem to find the answer or get my head around it.
I currently have no velocity status (just red). However, we are heading to Japan next year and Europe the year after and wanting to aim for gold status for Europe. I have family looking for my husband and 2 kids and have booked flights on Singapore Air to Nagoya (so 4 flight sectors for me) next year on Virgin website, which also will earn me in total 480 status credits.
My question is - do I have to go first to Silver and then to gold, ie ultimately needing 6 sectors and 750 status credits (2, 250 for silver then 4, 500 for gold)? Or will those that credited towards my silver still go towards gold?
I am asking as if they count, I will ensure we make a domestic trip before our Japan trip, thus achieving gold status on the way to Japan so we have it on the way back. Then the way back can count towards maintaining gold for the year to follow, meaning I then only need 2 sectors and 160 status credits to maintain it rather than 4 and 400.
Hope this makes sense and I greatly appreciate any assistance!
