If all you really want is a business class seat next summer, just go buy it as soon as it opens for sale. By the time you spend all your £££’s back and forth between BHD and LHR building points, buying it outright when fares are low would probably cause less of a headache. Don’t forget that award upgrade is not guaranteed on all flights, you’ll be allowed to use it at a time which suits the airline.
You will also keep any miles earned but your status points will be reset so you will have points to ‘purchase’ an upgrade. You’ll also get to keep for a year, whatever status you achieve between now and July 2019.
