It does seem that <£GBP5k is possible ex Oslo. I calculate the "flown mileage" as 32092, which seems within rules. Questions: -
- Are the transits via Hong Kong permissible? YES. In pricing up I set both to be stopovers
- The online tool only prices if Jakarta isn't included? I priced up your itinerary in the tool without any problems - NOK68,132 for business class
- AA seemingly has the best approach to booking RTW Fares in Business Class, will they have optimal access to D Class availability on the other carriers?
- I'm working on the basis that avoiding QF makes financial sense?
- I have AY & BA membership albeit basic, does it matter which FF programme is used to accrue Avios etc?
