Kind of funny, every time I'd feed her the next flight she kept warning me that it might price out as a separate award. Very glad I had researched and read the various resources available so that I was confident in what I was doing. In the end 50K miles and I'm flying business class to asia with a stopover for a few days in hong kong.
