Actually. I would like to maximize miles as well (i.e. I'm thinking the 34K plan).

I have to visit friends in Cairo and just got to wondering if it would be worth a scream around the world in F to make 1K on ual this year. I'm based out of GVA this summer, so I could do most of the rtw asap, then hang out in gva until the rules allow me to complete the final leg. I need to nest the trip inside GVA-CAI Y fare.

If I had to do some 24 hour stopovers, would want Manila (business) and rochester, NY (wife).

On the LH egypt website it mentions the 10 day inter-con rule.

Thanks for the helpful replies!
