Any routing I should recommend?
Do these awards open up more close in? I usually book trips 330 days out, but this is kinda spur of the moment idea.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Not seeing anything Trans-Pacific for 2. How bout this?
1/8 ORD-MUC 20:45-12:30+1 LH435 in F
1/9 MUC-IST 18:20-21:55 TK1636 in C
1/9 IST-BKK 23:40-13:40+1 TK60 in F
1/10 BKK-HKT 16:00-17:20 TG217 in C
1/15 HKT-BKK 10:05-11:35 TG202 in C
1/15 BKK-FRA 13:15-19:05 TG922 in F
1/16 FRA-ORD 08:15-10:25 UA945 in F
LH, TK, TG, and UA F for the longest hauls.
Edit: Or, if you want to avoid UA F, you can make the return look like this:
1/15 HKT-BKK 10:05-11:35 TG202 in C
1/15 BKK-FRA 13:15-19:05 TG922 in F
1/16 FRA-DUS 09:00-09:50 LH74 in C
1/16 DUS-ORD 12:05-14:20 LH436 in F
