Let me preface my narrative by saying I've been wanting to go to Bangkok for years. All attempts to book award flights through the SkyTeam Alliance or the OneWorld Consortium have been futile. However, tonight I was able to assemble what I think is a pretty good itinerary using OneWorld. It goes like this: 1-28-10 SAN-LAX-SFO (AE&AA);1-29-10 SFO-NRT-BKK (JAL) all Business; five nights in Bangkok at the Westin; 2-4-10 BKK-NRT-LAX (JAL) all Business; 2-4-10 LAX-SAN (AE). Other than having to overnight in San Francisco where my son can accommodate dear old dad, the connections are excellent. My "conundrum" is this: What happens if JAL goes bankrupt or completely ceases operations? Would AA be able to find me a substitute airline to get me to BKK? Would AA simply cancel the itinerary and refund my miles? If SkyTeam takes over JAL, is there a chance SkyTeam would come to my rescue? Am I worrying about nothing? Do I need to increase my anti-anxiety medication? I've never had this many miles riding on one award ticket and, in fact, am thinking of bumping it up to all First Class as I must say JAL's first looks very appealing, it is available on all legs, and I do have the necessary miles. I'd appreciate the sage advice from any of my comrades out there. Thank you!
