need help with award planning
Hello everyone, 2nd time posting here. :-) My first post was several months ago. I got great advice on how to get enough points for our dream vacation. Thanks for all the help, I now have successfully acculated enough miles for 2 economy award tix which we plan on using Lax-mad and ath-lax for the month of june 2012.
My planned itinerary would first be Lax-mad. We are taking a tour from Gate1travel that would take us from Madrid to barcelona in 7 days. But that leaves us in barcelona to athens on our own.
I have been looking at flights from BCN to ATH and it is priced at least 800 euros.
My questions are:
1.How long is the maximum days you are allowed to stay in a stop over?
2. I have tried being creative and looked at awardnexus and co website to see if there are possibly flights that both stop at madrid or barcelona prior to athens but I have not found any.
Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.
JB
