As i am claiming a Z Class award ticekt from SYD-BKK, If I start the DONE4 @ CMB then I will need to purchase a BKK-CMB reutrn ticket and it might not work out as cheap ( I presume a Y Class return on CX will be around 400USD)
Also the CMB-HKG is on the dreaded NRBC or ORBC seating (certainly not something I want to be stuck with on a 8 hr flight to HKG)
H class BKK-CMB (AA credit minimum) PTA to BKK was US$240 last week ex CMB TA. As I recall the difference on a DONE4 or DONE5 is about $US700
I would highly recommend a visit even if you only lie by the pool most of the time in Negombo. Kinda of humid at the moment though. Hopefully we will get to use the final coupon HKG-CMB in Feb/Mar when the weather is better.
I'll worry about CMB-PER when we get closer to using the last leg.
Had no trouble with the seats on the 773. Just remember to unlatch the bottom of the footrest. Stop in SIN was a pain but I slept through almost all of it. Continuing PAX cannot deplane in SIN. And the flight filled up completely. Stops in BKK 3 days/week SIN 3 days.
Maybe the 773 rests on the seventh.
Happy wandering
