You only get one Excursionist Perk, and you’re already using it. What more were you aiming for? Assuming these are the cities you want to go to, it sounds like a pretty reasonable deal to me.

Venice to Paris isn’t a great fit for *A — there aren’t any *A carriers on that route, so you’re going to be connecting somewhere. However, zero is a pretty good price. I mean, I could tell you that something like Ankara to Bødo is a more “maximal” redemption, in that it’s further and likely more expensive, but unless you’re planning to go to Turkey and Norway, what good does that do you? Maximal redemptions are always in the eye of the beholder.
