Total cost will be $170 + $395 = $565. It looks like not very cost effective ^
very bad advice

the WAS deals price out around $405 AI, but only to BUD (that I've seen). Also a tight connection in LHR.

Is there any way to maximize the mileage?

Just booked LGA-PHL-BCN-VIE-ZRH-PHL-LGA for $393 so 3.8cpm. Depart Nov 8 return Nov 10 so a one night turn in VIE. All AA flight numbers and booked in O class, but what do the flights operated by Niki earn?

From what I could see all the flights were AA codeshares, no? If so, then you earn as you would on AA, full BIS miles. If the flight is marketed by NIKI, then you earn 25% of BIS.

Edit: I see you're a Platinum member, so you earn the 500EQM minimum.

Snagged BWI-BUD tickets for $408 in March. Didn't notice the tight connection in LHR until Abidjan above said something. Oh well, it'll be a fun sprint through the airport.

Booked DCA-ARN via PHL/LHR in mid-August for $634 -- while not MR, I was spoiling for a summer trip to Europe to escape the DC swamp and Sweden seems the perfect antidote.

Any advice on upgrade options? It's US and BA metal so sadly the SWUs will await another adventure . . .

Still great prices out of ORD-VIE $350-400, use matrix and search 0-7 or 3-10 nights under calendar of lowest fares (available Nov, Dec, and 2015).

Thanks!
Got 4 tickets for my family:
LGA->PHL->LHR->VIE->ZRH->PHL->LGA for $413
Nov 22 to Nov 28.

I've never been to Vienna. Any cool things to do?

Also, I don't if AA booking class O earns on US Airways. Anybody have any idea?

Thanks!
