Hi again, I have come up with the below which although not the most cost-effective way to get 540 TP, does at least get me from A to B (via C, D, E and F!!)
The problem is that this is at the end of a week's trip to US and will have a large suitcase with me. Is there enough time in the below to collect bag and re-check on each leg, or is it possible to check baggage through the whole way. (ie ORD-SJU on first day, SJU-LGA on second?
Also, have I calculated correctly, it is 540 TP ? (dfw-sju giving 140)
