As a rookie to flyertalk and using ultimate rewards points for a trip home from bali travel I am going to give some info on routing and hope to hear some recommendations from you who have been at it for quite some time.
Using united award travel I have secured a ride home from DPS > ORF on j. Full routing is DPS>BKK>SIN>KUL>CAI>IST>ORD>ORF
I have some lengthy layovers in 4 of the cities. BKK/SIN/CAI/IST
I have done research about STPC's and award travel. I know that I am not technically on a stopover so that doesn't matter anyway but I will be in a few layovers over night. I guess airlines dont pay for accommodation even in class j or c if you are on an award ticket?
If any of you have tips or advice on what to do in these long layover cities or airports please speak. Thanks for your time.
