It was a fun trip

...I totally forgot to post this on here! As I requested some helps for using avios points to get this to all work out

.
The only thing I did not use avios points on was Dubrovnik to Rome....otherwise each leg was avios.
MSP -> NYC
NYC -> LON
LON -> VENICE
ROME -> LON
LON -> NYC
NYC -> MSP
We only 40k + 22k + 15k and about $1400 in taxes/surcharges (the NYC to LON is the one that get's you).
