I mapped out a hopscotch itinerary from the lower 48 to Nome on Alaska Air, using their website to find availability (you need Alaska's lowest mileage seats to be available). I called BA rez, gave them the flights and no problem -- I got a very efficient agent. I wasn't even charged a telephone booking fee, just $2.50 per flight per person + 12,500 miles per person (one way USA award).
Indeed! Please share the routing.
