Trip Dates - 9/13/2010 - 9/29/2010 (give or take a day for flexibility)
Ideally looking to go from ORD to CDG and fly back from Spain (BCN or MAD). I have had difficulty finding any available seats from Spain back to the states.
Ideally would like to fly business. Using ANA, I found flights for flying into and departing from CDG on AC in business.
ORD -> CDG
8/13 (FR) AC520 Chicago(ORD) Montreal
15:45 18:47 E75
8/13 (FR) AC870 Montreal Paris(CDG)
19:50 08:30 +1 77W
CDG -> ORD
8/29 (SU) AC885 Paris(CDG) Montreal
11:30 13:15 763
8/29 (SU) AC521 Montreal Chicago(ORD)
17:35 18:52 E7
Another item I would will to make sure I am right on is the number of miles that will be used. For Zone 1 - 3 it indicates 45,000 (x1.5 for business). I am understanding this to mean I will need 33,750 miles from ORD -> CDG for business cabin. Is this right?
Thanks for any and all help in advance!
