Having been a lurker on this forum for quite a while, I've finally decided to get more involved with my first attempt at an AONEx.

My planned itinerary is designed to take me to various cities I want to visit whilst routing to maximise the miles and tier points, and is as follows:

NBO-JNB-CPT-LHR-DXB-HEL-DXB-LHR-CAI-LHR-SYD-AKL-HKG-JFK-LAX-DFW-ANC-DFW-LAX-LHRxLOS

I intend to start in Africa to maximise the number of seperate trips I can get from London. With this routing, I'll get 4 seperate holidays out of the ticket and be able to return home between each one. I believe that it should also earn me around 2900 BAEC tier points and 148,000 miles.

As you will see from the routing, I have 6 segments in Europe which means that I'll need to purchase 2 additional segments there. I am hoping that the two purchased segments will make the 2 trips (4 segments) to the middle east from London possible since, as far as I can tell from the star files, the limit of 2 segments from the UK to the Middle East only applies to 'free' segments.

Any comments or thoughts on this plan, and especially the UK / Middle East segments, would be greatly appreciated.
