All of your routings are pretty garbage, try to mess with the rules routings. I take it you're planning to do lots of HUACA?

The stopover generally gets done in DXB. MLE-CMB is a cheap 60 minute flight.

Not an open-jaw, which is AAA-BBB//CCC-DDD on a full round trip. That's a land segment.

Let me guess, you're planning a blog post on how you flew EK F for $100? You might find that AS agents are on to this trick now thanks to some bad publicity from a blogger, and realize that they need to make sure redemptions don't go into Australia (which AS isn't supposed to allow for EK redemptions).

LOL, this isn't US Airways with completely incompetent agents who don't understand geography. On what planet is backtracking 5000 miles after your destination in MRU a "one way award"? One that's flat?
