Thanks for the responses. I am planning on buying a business ticket, and will use AA for my transatlantic and transpacific runs because I can use an AAVP upgrade to first class. Here is the itinerary that I have planned. Does it look Ok to everyone? Also, I have been on BA business, but never of CX business. Which do you think is better? I am leaning to BA because I will be travelling with a colleague and I can book him in world traveller plus. I am not too concerned with mileage maximization. Here is what I have:
GRR-ORD
ORD-LHR
BHX-MAD
MAD-BIO
BIO-MAD
MAD-CDG
CDG-LHR
LHR-HKG
HKG-ICN
ICN-HKG
HKG-NRT
NRT-ORD
ORD-FLL
FLL-ORD
ORD-GRR
My concerns are what appears to be a backtrack to LHR, is this allowed? And what to fly on the LHR-HKG.
