AAgoraku, thanks for showing how to get to the travelocity fares. Some more newbie questions that i couldn't get answered off the primer, so bear with me please.

The travelocity fares don't have routing info? Is that right or am i missing something?

Aa, travelocity, orbitz, expedia allow only 4 or 5 airport pairs, ie 2 each way. so i got AUS-stl-MIA-jfk-CDG priced by trial and error but i cant get to the west coast like that. I've priced AUS-STL-MIA-JFK-CDG and BRU-ORD-DFW-AUS at $991 for approx 6k qpoints/ 12k q-miles. I don't mind open jaw in Europe - can work my vacation around it.

I am trying to do something like:
AUS-ORD/DFW-LAX/SFO-JFK/DFW/ORD-MIA-CDG/BRU/AMS
for 15k miles total, and 7.5k qpoints. What is the right way, if any to do this? Also, can I lower the pricing from $991 to the published fare? Have read the primer, can't see the solution..

Note: MIA seems to give 1500 bonus on MPM as compared to 1000 ORD/MIA..

all help appreciated!

thanks
