If you've got routing suggestions, that's fantastic. I want to return home as directly as possible, as I'll have some samples on dry ice. With my dates (04/30-05/01), I'm pretty sure these routings are fairly solid. Of course, I won't stop you from contributing ideas if you've got 'em.

Regarding elite status, I'm silver on Delta through February, but not thereafter. I'd probably credit all *A miles to UA, and any ST miles to Delta (though I've considered Alaska).

AC: LAX-YYZ-CPH-YYZ-LAX - 12165 mi
SK: LAX-ORD-CPH-ORD-LAX - (8541mi * .25) + 3489 = 5624 mi
UA/CO: LAX-EWR-CPH-EWR-LAX - 12643 mi
KL: LAX-AMS-CPH-AMS-LAX - 11946 mi
LH: LAX-FRA-CPH-MUC-LAX - 11795 mi + (927 * .25) = 12259 mi

There's also:

$865 - Swiss: LAX-ZRH-CPH-ZRH-LAX - 13057 mi

I've never flown AC, SK, KL, or LH before, so I'm not sure if there's a difference in quality of service in coach.

Thanks
