Rep literally said this is one of the sickest itineraries she's ever seen!
YYZ-CAI (MS J) - 4.5h layover
CAI-DME (MS J) - 4 day stop
DME-VIE (OS J) - 20h overnight
VIE-IST (OS J) - 20h overnight
IST-SIN (SQ J) - 2h layover
SIN-SYD (SQ J)
Return:
PER-SIN (SQ J) - 18h layover
SIN-NRT (NH J) - 8.5h layover
NRT-ORD (NH J) - 22h overnight
ORD-YYZ (UA J)
Whew - after being disconnected thrice while on hold, I finally nabbed my seats as follows:
YYZ-YUL AC J (9h connection)
YUL-MUC LH J (23h overnight)
MUC-DME LH J (Stop for 72 hours)
DME-FRA LH J (8h connection)
FRA-BKK TG F (12h connection)
BKK-SYD TG F
PER-SIN SQ J (19h overnight)
SIN-NRT NH J (18h overnight)
NRT-ORD NH F (13h connection)
ORD-YYZ UA J
Gambling on YUL-MUC, FRA-BKK will have LH F within T-14 of departure date.
Grinning ear to ear for nabbing NH new F on 773ER with the kaiseki ex-NRT, Krug and caviar.
TG F with the BKK F lounge and Dom/caviar is awesome too - but if I can gain the 2 LH F segments I'll be over the moon.
EDIT: I literally fell out of my chair when I got the email with the updated taxes (from an initial $760.26)
$1,504.66
Boy, am I glad I only have 94 AP points left over (burned 365,000 points for 2 mini RTWs and a separate F award.) AC gets two middle fingers up from me.
