I am going from Noumea, New Caledonia to Ashgabat, Turkmenistan in July on a BD 18,750 mile redemption in business via Auckland, Los Angeles (overnight stop), Frankfurt, Istanbul and Baku.

But I dont fly for business.

My return is also a 18,750 BD business class ticket from Tashkent, Uzbekistan via Istanbul, Beijing (22 hours stop), Seoul (3 day stop), Tokyo to Honolulu, continuing 3 days later on a separate ticket via LAX,ORD to YYZ, so all in about 8 days
