BoSoxinBKK: I thought you were able to fly twice to the same city on condition that a)the second was not a stopover, and b) it wasn't the city of origin.
Bearaway: I did the Star Alliance 55k promo earlier this year. Given it wasn't 100k that I would be doing now (that is IF I end up doing this trip), I did fly for 3 days/nights straight and look how I turned out, I wanna do it again! I would time it that my stops are spaced along the trip. MEL-PER-DRW-SYD stop SYD-AKL-HKG-CMB-HKG stop HKG-CMB-HKG-JNB stop JNB-LUN-NBO-LUN-JNB-LHR stop LHR-LPA-LHR-TLV stop. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is where to stop from lhr-lax-sxm-dfw-anc-dfw-bos-lax-eze-ccs-scl-ccs-scl-jfk-syd, other than JFK which is a definite stop and SCL is a possibility also. I am a student on a limited budget, so until now I've really been selecting places where I know someone that I could crash by.
BTW, you got any connections in NASA

?
goodo
