Price on AF.com for exact itinerary for both tickets was $31,017, bringing the total value of each Skymile to nearly 13 cents .. great value IMO
In order to book AF on DL.COM on multi-city search, I used Expertflyer.com 3 day flex search for O (Business class award availability). Surprisingly there was a lot. Once I had dates/ flight numbers, I plugged away on DL.com and it came up without a problem. Am very much looking forward to this trip- hopefully I can switch to the A380 flights if availability becomes open (set an Expert Flyer alert).
Pitbrian: Thanks much for this post. I just booked MCI-DTW-CDG-SEZ-CDG-DTW-MCI for 120K/ticket in J for my honeymoon! You saved us 360K miles over our alternate routing!
