I know FT is the worst place to get confirmation that I am not insane but to take advantage of this fare I am considering the following itinerary.

Outbound

PIT-LGA-YYZ (AA Y)
YYZ-LHR-MAA (BA PE)
MAA-CMB (UL Y)
CMB-DOH-PHL (QR J)
PHL-PIT (AA Y)

This sector will be purely MR over Memorial weekend and set me up for 2 weeks vacation in Sri Lanka and New Delhi. I'll arrive in MAA at 330am and depart on UL at 10am. I wonder how is international transit at MAA with separate tickets? Then I'd arrive in CMB around noon and depart 9pm back to the states.

Return

PIT-PHL (AA Y)
PHL-DOH-CMB (QR J)

Spend 7-10 days in Colombo

CMB-DEL (UL Y)

Spend 3-5 days in DEL

DEL-LHR-YYZ (BA PE)
YYZ-DCA-PIT (AA Y)

Around $2400 all in for the BA/QR sectors with AMEX IAP discount and QRSUBSCRIBER. Then a mixture of $$$/points for the positioning flights.Net me in $6,901 EQDs and 51,759 EQMs. Pretty much secures Platinum.

Half insane half genius?
