There was a thread about longest xONEx but it would no longer be useful for booking to any of the carriers since there will be a mix of fare based and distance based earning. Have any of you considered maximum LP earnings (if you're an AA flier), or whatever currency you are earning? Any specific itineraries? I will be working on this and will post, but I don't think it's possible to know in advance how many status earning points or redeemable points will be awarded..
Has anyone been able to book via AA RTW without booking TATL or TPAC?
Thanks for plowing through this.
ExpertFlyer shows the below prices.
OSL: DONE4, EUR5037; DONE5, EUR5782; DONE6, 6519.
TOK: DONE4, EUR5615; DONE5, EUR6441; DONE6, EUR7038.
It's impossible to comment on possible earnings without at least a rough indication of an itinerary.
It seems a hard and fast rule that you must have at least the TAtl or TPac as an AA code. I think there may have been a report of some who's an executive platinum getting away without the requirement, but that's rare, it seems.
