Hello All!

I am considering doing the following routing and just wanted to check a few things (London is my actual home port):

CAIorWAW-LHR-SIN-HKG*-BKK-SYD*-MEL*-AYQ*-PER*-MEL-LAX-JFK*-DFW-YYZ*-DFW-YVR*-LHR*-DXB*-LHR-WAWorCAI

* = stop

a) Is the above routing valid?

b) Can I have the above ticket all on e-ticket which means I can purchase the ticket and not have to worry about having to pick it up in either Cairo or Warsaw

c) Is it better to purchase it in Cairo or Warsaw? i.e. anyone got any idea on the price differential as current information displayed on this forum seems a little out of date? Suggested agents? What is the impact on the EU ruling on pricing (i.e. will this make CAI the definately better starting point)

d) My definite stops are Hong Kong, Sydney, Melbourne, Toronto and Vancouver (New York as an almost definite stop) however could be flexible on everything else and interested in trying to maximise mileage and status. All mileage and status will be applied to my QF account and all travel will be post May 25 so the new 10 zone mileage/status table will apply.

e) Can I stop in LHR twice as a stop over (i.e. just before and just after I do the DXB run?)

f) Could look at the AONE4 ticket, although quite a few legs I have don't offer first class so it may not be worth it and to be honest I find Skybed a great product with BA being reasonable, but if anyone can come up with routing which means I can travel first most of the way, I will certainly look at it. Not looking forward to being downgraded to Y on the AA flights!

g) When does the ticket expire? 12 months after ticketing or 12 months after 1st date of departure?

Any other suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!
