I was thinking about buying a ticket between SEA-SFO with AS (I could pick up some extra Avios).
I'm very flexible with my routing, so I'll look into that.
Any other suggestions I should look out for?
Thank you so much for the advice. :-)
If you go business class take
christep's advice and start somewhere besides the UK; Cairo is decently priced.
Short hops in the US is usually a waste of segments on a DONE so try to do a routing that will allow you to maximize them. Something like LHR-SEA/SFO-JFK-ORD-DCA-DFW-HNL would be better.
