My partner and I have ended up in the very fortunate position of being able to take a bit of a career break and spend a few months doing a bit of travelling.

After, frankly, spending enough time on this forum and the oneworld sites to make my eyes bleed, the plan is to position ourselves in GIB and do take the following route on an AONE4.

Obviously I'd like to maximise the "real" first class experience and I wouldn't be a true Flyertalk member if I wasn't also trying to maximise miles.

I'd appreciate it if the more experienced XONEX-ers out there could validate my routing.

Needless to say, I'm quite excited.

Thanks.
