Earning Platinum status with all flights in Economy

[Flyerwin]

82.5 return CBR-MEL (similar) in Disc. Y

Can happen if you're a politician or bureaucrat who lives in MEL but works in CBR and has to commute weekly on tax payer's money...

SYD-LHR in Y flex would net 280 SC return. 13 of those should take you over the line. Though, personally, I'd throw a few upgrade requests in to make it more bearable.

Thankfully I did most of my UK runs in the old-fitout A380, in the upstairs mini-cabin, with a couple down the back in the new fitout. The A380 I could handle, but I never would have gone near the 787 for that flight in Y.

try to hit the next unicorn status - Platinum One Economy...

Had two years as P1 (when it first came out) based mainly on domestic Y - although it was flexi but no points. No DSC. The record was 7 sectors in a week. So it can be done. Achieved LTG in 5 years. Crazy times. Never again.
Happy with Platinum now but still 26000 SC away from LTP so shows you how pointless that is.

P since 2014 I think. The only times I paid for J was in 2018 when my worked changed for a bit. MEL-BNE-DRW-KNX used to be a cheap earner. With some judicial use of DSC ...

Covid Status Keeper has helped since 2020.

Now this is the first year since then I need to earn 1200 again. At this rate I will be around the 1000 minus the loyalty bonus, and Green thing.
All economy.
