Hey fellow Ft'ers. Ideas would be appreciated.

Here are the parameters of the trip -

1) Fly Biz - working toward AA EXP -
2) I leave from DFW - open to using cheap tkt to get to someplace to buy cheap RTW -
3) Maximize miles -
4) I need to visit Chian Mai, Thailand - and Novosibirsk, Russis.
-- Chian Mai appears closest to BKK
--- Novosibirsk between Moscow and Beijing.
5) I could do this on a 3 Con - Eur/Asia/NA run. Not sure if paying extra to go 4 continents is worth extra $$ for the miles. I wouldn't be staying at 4th continent -- just going for miles.

I've done lots of reading so I have an idea of maximizine miles in a region -

I'm open to any and all ideas.

Thanks,
CFM

TANSTAAFL - but if you work it right, FF miles comes pretty close.
