In breaking up an AONE5 ex-MRU ticket (“parking” it in Asia), to get back home I have considered buying a new DONE3 from NRT but am currently leaning toward a STAR1 ticket. With the 29,000 allowable miles (pathetic I know), I can get back to North America and then on to Europe before returning to Asia to resume the AONE5. I see two advantages in the *A ticket. First, I would be able to fly a number of short segments (e.g. 8 or so segments under 1000 miles each) to see places in Europe that either are inaccessible with OW or uneconomic (i.e., a waste of one of the 4 allowed segments). Secondly, it would allow an opportunity to sample SQ business class (with about half of the allowable miles). Comments?
