We are leaving for a three month Europe trip on wednesday and I think we need to get started planning our next big trip for next summer! Retirement is great!!!
My wife and I want to do an around the world next year using miles starting in mid May and return in mid to late August.
We have AA miles Me- 238,965 Wife-349,759
US air Me-151,319 Wife-140,076
BA 64500 avios combined
Will start out from LAX (well actually LAS)
Main places I want to visit are:
Angkor Wat & ? (explore from Hong Kong or Malaysia ?) keeping time in this area brief as we don’t tolerate heat well.
Australia
New Zealand
South Africa and Victoria falls
Europe
We want to fly business class (or first if the price is not to much more) on the longer flights. Paying cash as needed for the shorter flights is fine.
Any and all routing and airline and itinerary suggestions are sought as well as booking strategies. Thanks so much for your suggestions!
