I should have asked this question first: I still haven't completed my booking & my award booking is still on hold - SFO - FRA - MAA. I have to call the agent to book FRA-CDG-FRA award. I guess I can use just the 80000 miles roundtrip including CDG stopover. I would like my award booking like this: SFO-FRA-CDG-FRA-MAA-FRA-SFO. Is it possible?

If I can do a CDG stopover for a week (family of 4 including 2 kids), I hope to get my baggage at CDG & stay at a SPG or IHG hotel (I have Platinum status with both, using points) closer to the airport & leave my luggage there at the airport hotel & stay at any SPG or IHG downtown hotels (using points) and on day 7 at Paris arrive at the hotel airport & collect my luggage from the airport hotel & check it all the way to MAA.

Does this plan sound fair? That way, I don't have to pay the airport storage.
