I think there's potential here for some serious TP itineraries.
talk me through that. your dest is LAX? did you do another BOS - LAX at the end?
I probably need to be in LAS in August and it pains me to pay the same as HNL. I found DUB LHR MAN PHL LAX LAS return which gives 940 TPs which isn't bad (aren't get getting greedy these days! lol) as zigzag transcon didn't work for me so be interested to hear your full itin.

It may or may not sort itself out, I won't be bothering to chase it I don't think.....
that's a MMB glitch - Z class flights often show as if you'd earn F TPs and Avios but usually you end up initially earning none and then having to claim credit for J.

interesting. do we know timeframe for those? i.e. from when till when?
