ORD-MIA-SJU-AUA [Aruba]
Basically we start in Grand Rapids and finish in Aruba with our destination being Nairobi. Honestly I added ORD-MIA-SJU-AUA [Aruba] 'for efficiency' to be married to anther trip later on.
Someone mentioned that I should look at a OneWorld award first class award for 180K.
Made me think, wouldn't it always make sense to use a OneWorld award for Africa? Can you think of any exceptions?
Back to my itn...do you have any suggestions for me? Is it easy to convert a reservation from All Partner to OneWorld?
To answer your specific first question, you cannot do this as an All Partner award. You could do it as a One World award as others have stated but you have to add another OW carrier so you'll have to tack on some additional flights. For example you could fly GRR-DFW-FRA-MAD-LHR-NBO.
LHR-NBO is a pretty easy route to get 2 FC award seats. I just looked and it ranges from generally available to wide open from now until December. You have a wide pick of dates every month.
