Ok, I am a lurker, signed for Plat Chall help.. never flown AA before!
I'll be flying from AUS/IAH to Europe for a week's vacation in mid july. Was considering AF $398+tax EWR->CDG+AMS->EWR multi trip (DL miles), but then I'll have to do an aus->ewr anyway, so it will probably cost 800+ ..
Better to do a Platinum challenge on AA. Right?
I need to make another transatlantic flight in september so finishing the challenge betwen the two should be easy. right now i just want to get as close as possible.
any routing ideas? fare suggestions?
AUS->DFW->CDG prices for about $1000
and earns about 10k miles = 5k qpoints...
all suggestions welcome! thanks!
