ARN-OSL(stop)-CPH-IAD-YYZ

Would transiting via WAW back to CPH be considered backtracking as WAW is further east then CPH. I heard the LOT 787 from YYZ is quite nice as well.

Also, since its on the return, I can go back through CPH again, correct? Its just a transit point, no stopping.

I am looking to book very soon but AMEX has an "issue" with their system and didn't give us the full 30k points when we signed up for the referral deal (only got 20k) so we're 8000 points short of the 180k. Might just have to bite the bullet and spend the 270$ for the 8000 points to get the flights without charges.

Thanks,
Matt
1. There are scamcharges on LO - albeit small - around $100.
2. Backtracking is not an issue - its not like AC agents have any knowledge of geography - if the computer adds up mileage and it is permitted - you are good to go, which leads to
3. Your routing of YYZ-WAW-CPH-ARN is over the 4987 MPM, your return just fits
4. There is no business class in Europe on SAS flights. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/sas-e...uropean-c.html
