Then I would use 25k miles to fly to the south and back in conjunction with the BNA flights.
Thus, I would get ~33,000 MQM and ~78,000 RDM (including Delta Amex bounceback) on two trips to the south and a trip to Italy in business all for $1,997 and 25,000 miles.
Is there anything wrong with this approach? Mainly concerned that the domestic connections into/out of NYC are at LGA and the departure to rome is from JFK.
Thanks
Want to make sure I am interpreting this correctly: you will use 25k miles to position to BNA, and then fly the listed itinerary? Based on other posts in this thread, I'm thinking that the breaking down of the journey might mean that you'd only get credit for the BNA-LGA-BNA trip--but someone here might have personal experience with this situation whereas I don't.
Regardless, enjoy the trip!
