Hi all,
I'm proposing to do my first AONE4 in July and would like some comments please. The route that I'm thinking about is:
BKK-HKG, SYD, PER, BNE, SYD, LAX, HNL, SFO, MIA, EWR, LHR, AGP (Malaga), LHR, SIN, BKK.
Stopovers in HKG (where I'm based), SYD, HNL, SFO, MIA, AGP and LHR.
It's all your fault for doing this (hehe...thanks all), because I actually only need to go to Malaga for a mate's wedding, but your talk here has got me thinking! I'd like to maximise MPC miles for status purposes - my usual 70k-odd miles a year are almost exclusively on CX so it seems to me to make sense in getting Diamond.
a) Does the route as it stands fit the rules?

b) Can it be made more efficient for MPC miles? The only stopovers necessary are HNL, LHR and AGP.
I'm still a tad confused about the rules, and any help would be most kind of you. I might even buy you a beer if you're in HKG at some point...
Cheers all,
Nick.
