HKG-DFW because I want to use a SWU, hopefully by the grab-and-go method experience you shared in another thread.
Maybe I give you a more tricky question.
I need 43300 EQM and 6600 EQD with some parts of my rtw. Of course I would want to "save" some of the segments for next year. I am in Hong Kong now, rtw started in Cai, just flew four segments CAI-AMM-HKG-MLE-HKG.
What should I do with the remaining to maximise my segments? I need to go to Perth (can do sidetrack), like to go to Toronto but not a must, hope to end this year's flying in North America.
24482 flown miles or 36723 EQM 6120.5 EQD hkg-del-nrt-bne-per-hkg-jfk seems the closest thing I can get so I added JFK-SCL-LAX after that but seems I don't really need that much, and that needed to re-issue the DONE4 to DONE5 (which I am more than happy to pay, indeed I am going to re-issue to a DONE6 as the price difference is just few hundred USD, considering 245% of AA EXP earn I think it's well worth it.)
So my question is, apart from 24482 flown miles or 36723 EQM 6120.5 EQD hkg-del-nrt-bne-per-hkg-jfk, can you give me a better routing?
Anyone please help?
It may be easier to just MR to top up the remaining EQM/EQDs, considering that there's going to be some costs anyway transiting/stopovering at each port. I guess not hitting EXP doesn't mean an eyeroll also...
Reason why I put SWU on transcon and not international flight is because I would never 'risk' flying AA F internationally with crAAppy FAs for 16 hours. Whereas on CX even if you fly with their North American based crew, it is not that likely to be disastrous. As you said you wanted the miles to credit correctly (to your advantage [pun!]), maybe it is a lot more worth it than you think to ditch AA for CX on the long TPAC sector.
Back on topic, I would agree with
Wasabi Tofu above (in fact, before I looked at their post) - could look at AKL
