That's a good idea that we'll look into. The RTW does allow it, and we were already planning on using it elsewhere. Unfortunately, it's looking like mileage availability on the flights we need is mighty poor, and at most half of our travel dates have any flights they'll let us book... :-( Disappointing, considering this is still 11 months out... May just have to suck it up and not use miles...
