RTW in 4 days! LAX-ORD-FRA-CDG-DOH-PER-HKG-TPE-LAX
Backstory: There isn't one. I've been itching to fly and had been looking around on seats.aero for fun and found some great availability yesterday on some metal and routes I hadn't flown previously. After getting the okay from P2 this morning to skip Thanksgiving for a few days in the sky, I booked my trip with miles and it starts tomorrow! Here is my routing:
LAX-ORD UA 737-900 J
ORD-FRA LH 747-800 F
FRA-CDG LH A320-200 J
CDG-DOH QR B777-300ER J
DOH-PER QR A380-800 F
PER-HKG CX 777-300ER J
HKG-TPE CX A350-1000 J
TPE-LAX CI B777-300ER J
The total was around 459k miles & $620 in fees spread across MileagePlus, AAdvantage, Asia Miles, and FlyingBlue. Purchasing the flights would have cost around $38,500 USD so that's about $0.083 per mile which is a pretty good redemption in my book.
I'm leaving LA at 8:45 am tomorrow and returning on Sunday at 7:50 pm. I have an overnight layover in CDG, otherwise, I will be lounge-hopping and sleeping on planes. Keep an eye out for updates along the way!
