Wow very impressive!!!

I will be in HKG the night you arrive from NRT. Only problem I can find is you are only permitted 1 transcontinental flight in North America. You have 5. Also CX releases 0 seats on the JFK - YVR segments in A class so w/o status you have little chance of anyhing but standby.

Suggestion to increase miles are to consider the DFW - ANC flight. It does not count as a transcontinental, but it is also a 757 so no sleeper seats. You might also consider going to Baku instead of HEL to maximize miles and you get a Club World flight. One last mileage maximizer is to fly: Asia - OZ - Europe (via Asia) - North America - South America - North America - Asia. Is is permitted under the rules.

One Cost savings idea is to start in SEL which is cheaper than BKK for first class tickets.

Also put everything in AA, take the Plat Challenge, convert upgrades and you will have close to 250,000 miles and 16 VIP OWs when it is all over!!

Best Deal on the planet IMHO!!

good luck,
rich
