And my maiden posting too.

My itinerary as follows: TUN-LGW BA, LGW-MEX MX, MEX-YVR MX, YVR-DFW AA. DFW-SCL AA, SCL-IPC LA, IPC-SCL LA, SCL-SYD LA, SYD-AKL LA, AKL-HKG CX, HKG-DEL CX, DEL-NRT JL, NRT-SIN JL, SIN-CMB CX, CMB-AMM RJ, AMM-TUN.

Suggestions and advice most welcome.

I reside in Vancouver and my purpose for this trip is to visit places long on my bucket list and to obtain AA Plat. status.

Price obtained from online, Tunisian Dinars $11607 +$1912.00 taxes $TND13519 ai. per person.

How do I book and pay for this? Ideally I would want to use AARTW desk for future date changes.

Paper or E ticket? Departing March 25th 2010, arriving YVR April 6th for a 6 month layover.

How to obtain two locator numbers as we will be using our SPG cards to get best credit card coverage?

Is it necessary to complete two additional AA flights to achieve Plat. status, if so I was thinking of a quick return flight on AA out of DFW?

Taxes? Are these average for our flights?

Thanking all in advance.
