MM around the world award ticket in J
Anyone tried it? seems like it's very reasonably priced for such a ticket.
What are the limitations? stopover rules, number of legs, mixing carriers, extra fees, land sectors, millage limitations etc...
I tried twitter and AZ just told me to call (we all know how "helpful" AZ call center is).
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
