Worthwile doing a miles run??

[SQ1]

Hi there,

I thought about doing a miles run from Perth to New York return with stopover in Frankfurt.

I find that is the longest trip from Perth with SQ so I can gain KrisFlyer Elite Silver.

You do need 25K for Silver and another 25K for Gold.

Any suggestions or better ideas??

Thank you

Welcome to SQTalk!

Perth - Singapore - Frankfurt - New York - Frankfurt - Singapore - Perth coming in at 25,332 miles on Great Circle Mapper ? In other words, you're starting from zero ?

If you have not done so already, I think you should question whether it's worthwhile enrolling in KrisFlyer and also why you want to do a mileage run to achieve silver (which has no real benefit apart from the 25% bonus for SQ flights) ?

Nope, I think if you're gonna run for 25k worth of miles, there are other more compelling FF programs than KF.

Will you be flying a lot after getting *G? If not, then don't bother.

Hi jhm

No I dont start from zero, have 46K at the moment with KF.
But accumulated last 2 years
So that's where my thoughts are coming in.
I also would like to spend 3 weeks in Europe.
Thanks for your input much appreciated.
Cheers
