Hi!
I recently bought my LONE4-trip and found this forum afterwards. I am a member of AY's bonusprogram.

My routing is as follows:
ARN-MAD-LIM-SCL
SCL-PUQ-SCL (purchased separately)
SCL-GRU//
GIG-SCL
SCL-IPC-SCL
SCL-AKL//
CHC-SYD
SYD-CNS
CNS-NRT//
KIX-HKG
HKG-SIN
SIN-BKK
BKK-HEL-ARN

This totals at around 60000kms, which is the limit for Silver. However, I think I am slightly below 60000kms as I without knowing of bonuspoints, booking classes and so bought the SCL-PUQ-SCL in Q which gives no points.

Now, I thought about making a little change in the routing to get more points, inspired by the MR-forum.

I am interested in doing the following instead:

SCL-AKL//
CHC-MEL*
MEL-NRT//
KIX-SYD+
SYD-CNS
CNS-HKG
HKG-SIN
SIN-BKK
which would give me 4 stops in AUS/NZ and 4 stops in Asia

or:
SCL-AKL//
CHC-SYD
SYD-HKG
HKG-CNS
CNS-NRT//
KIX-SIN
SIN-BKK
which would give me 3 stops in AUS/NZ and 4 stops in Asia

Depending on which one gives more miles, I guess taxes won't change that much. Also, my question is ofcourse if it is possible to make the changes, I plan to start my trip in December, so if I have understood correctly, I can make changes to the routing for free until I fly the first segment?
* & +: CHC-MEL is operated by Jetstar, QF308.Also, the KIX-SYD flight is a QF-codeshare operated by Jalways, QF374.
Does anyone know if that flight is available with the LONE4 and if it gives points?

I guess I won't need to take the long flights, I'm happy if this trip ends up at more than 60000kms, I won't make it to 60000+120000km anyway to get Gold.

Thanks for all your help.
