Just 2 of those and I've got enough MQDs essentially (and then just need to find some more MQMs which should easily cover the remaining $1000 MQDs).

Can it really be this easy?
What's the cost of such a ticket? I'm asking because I think you're looking at two RT tickets because this might not be a legal routing. I know DL won't let you fly to Asia through Europe even during IROPs.
