I am getting ready to move some SPG points into DM, but wanted to know if the following routing would be considered valid for an Australia award ticket.
IAH-ORD UA
ORD-PVG UA (23 Hour layover)
PVG-AKL NZ
AKL-CHC NZ Stopover (10 days)
CHC-SYD NZ Destination
SYD-SFO UA
SFO-IAH UA
Thanks for all suggestions!
