Just out of curiosity, what would you suggest in place of the OP's ...-DOH-LAX-ANC-lax-JFK-...? I note from his mini-bio that the OP is in the BAEC. So am I. A couple of years ago we were booked on ...-LAX-ANC-ORD-... which would have garnered 280 BA tier points. We were involuntarily re-routed to LAX-sea-ANC-sea-ORD, which yielded only 160. Fortunately, the lost 120 TPs weren't crucial to our Gold re-qualification -- but they might have been.
