I count four stopover cities: LHR, YYZ, DSM, BHM, and SFO with one of them being the "destination".
I have a little under 200k SPG points, and almost zero Citi points. Some UR points. I have some United points but that's a moot point because they don't allow that many stopovers, which is critical for this trip. How can I maximize my transfers to Asia Miles?
Also, which airline do you suggest I use to book this trip in a way that would minimize miles spent and have the lowest fuel surcharges?
Many thanks in advance!
CX charges YQ as their partners charge.
AA charges 0 YQ.... (except for TATL???)
CX YQ is retricted by HK CAD.
outside of them u'd be badly stung.
you'd want to ticket LHR as transits. and i want to know if SFO-SIN is AA ok. if not then u'd be stuck with CX with a HKG transfer?
SIN-xHKG-xLHR-oYYZ-oDSM-oBHM-oSFO-(oHKG-)SIN
