Holy WP Card Batman. This would surely be close to being as fast as it is actually possible to do it. Never worked out what the theroetical fastest time would be, but wouldn't think much less than this
It would have been hard to knock much off of it
LHR-SIN-SYD, departing at Noon on friday arriving into Oz at 19:30 on Saturday ( times approx ) and connect to MEL arriving around 22:00.
Depart MEL at 15:30ish on sunday arriving into LHR at around 05:00 on Monday. Hmm... Actually about 65 hours, I musta miscounted earlier
Travelling on the old points system, First class, gave , iirc, 240 + 150 +30 +150 + 240 = 810 base SCs. I had , the morning before leaving, received a promo email offering me double miles and double SCs , so I earned 1620 SCs and (10,500base + 10,500 status + 5250 COS )*2 for round trip *2 for double miles promo = approx 105,000 miles earned
Think it will be hard to beat this timing from Zero Scs to Plat . The icing on the cake was that my year starts in January, this flight was my 1st for the year on around the 6th January...absolutely perfect
