Hi,

Am currently in the process of putting together an AONE3 as a special treat for myself in August for up to 3 weeks(when the other half is visiting her parents), and was hoping for some ideas and suggestions from the knowledgeable members of this board.

I will be starting the journey from TLV where my main interests / targets include; surfing, sport fishing, fine dining, first class flying, miles collecting and a little gambling.

So far my route includes:

TLV-xLHR-NYC-MIA-LAS-SJD-HNL-NRT-HKG-xLHR-TLV

F - BA, CX, AA,
J- JL, AA
BA Tier points: 1,440 (Will use BA card)

Queries:

1) Any additional ways of getting in more F flights? (I realize that visiting HNL takes away the opportunity of trying F on JL from the US.)
2) Any other destinations I need to add with my interests and limited time scale?
3) Is there an F option from HNL to Asia?
4) I am planning to book with BA via the phone - is there a more preferable option for booking
5) Not used to travelling alone for extended periods - any tips?

Have I missed anything out?

Thanks for your help.

J
