With all the anger I've been feeling about the recent introduction of roachchoice, it was nice to feel some goodness again from NW. We finally pulled the trigger on 2 Biz tickets with this routing and I think we found a tremendous value at 120k per ticket that allows us to route thru Egypt on the return trip. Three countries on two continents in about three weeks, this is a lot of travelling.
We booked:
SEA-ATL-EZE on Delta (departing SEA Thurs noon, arriving EZE Fri AM)
Fri/Sat/Sun- free "stopover" in EZE since the next MH flight to JNB is on Sun PM
EZE-JNB on MH (departing EZE Sun PM, arriving JNB Mon around noon)
23 hours layover in JNB
JNB-Nairobi-DAR on KQ (Kenya Airways)
8+ days in Tanzania
DAR-CAI on KQ
5+ days in Egypt
CAI-AMS-SEA on NW/KLM (go the AMS-SEA nonstop no less!)
