These changes so close together in time make planning a nightmare. I commute roughly every eight weeks between BOS and UTH. So, first was planning AONE4 ex-KRT for end of March, 2013. (Burning miles until then.) Then that went away, so started working on ex-JNB, but that's a very different planning process managing getting to Africa, maximizing F time, maximizing F miles and still complying with rules. (The way to do it, I found/figured out, is to end the trip at NBO or similar, taking advantage of the exception to keep chargeable intercontinental entries/exits to/from Europe to one.) Then AA started the AATHX promotion, so I want to move some mileage tickets from 2012 into 2013 and pay for some trips in 2012 to take advantage of AATHX. My brain hurts!! (Yeah, I know. First world problems.)
