We intend to leave around April 6th and the only 'must' is New Zealand from mid June to mid July. We intend to spend 3 months in both Australia and South Africa. Big thanks for any help or advice you have to share
Our itinerary:
CAI => JFK
JFK => YUL
YUL => JAX
MIA => ANC
overland to Vancouver
YVR => SFO
SFO => HNL
HNL => NAN
NAN => AKL
AKL => MEL
SYD => PEK
PEK => BKK
BKK => KUL
KUL => HKG
HKG => CPT
CPT => LHR
LHR => CAI
European segments? We've already travelled around the major cities...any ideas? Thanks again
M and P
First off, you need to add all the other segments in your routing as there are no direct flights say between CAI-JFK.
So you'd be flying:
CAI-LHR-JFK or CAI-MAD-JFK ,
JFK-YUL-DFW-JAX (buy seperate ticket between JAX and MIA)
MIA-ORD-ANC //
(you'd need a seperate ticket to get from YVR to SFO as AA does not fly this route)
SFO-HNL-NAN-AKL-MEL //
SYD-HKG-PEK (QF has no direct flight from SYD-PEK),
PEK-HKG-BKK-
(buy seperate flight BKK-KUL-BKK so as to save you a couple of sectors)... BKK-HKG-JNB-CPT-LHR-CAI
Please note that you cannot fit in any more sectors as you are only allowed a maximum of 20 sectors.
