But I have to forfeit the bonus RDM when credit to AA, as only Sri Lankan airlines flies CMB-NRT. Well, that I consider the bonus is less than 100 USD.
I don't know AA scheme well.
Do you book AA flight number for DEL-NRT ?
If a JL flight number is required, CMB-NRT is bookable as JL7076.
SYD-PER not cheap flight, hmmmm.
Probably same situation, and not cheap MEL-PER.
NRT-MEL-AKL is another candidate.
