1/6 vs 1/8 will Definitely be more helpful. Not so worried about collecting the spendable Avios vs actually getting the status. So let’s see how it goes, I should have another set of AA flights going from SNA/LAX to Orlando and back in a couple of months so will do some more research on the connections and see how the routing will be.

thanks again!
