I’ve been lurking on this board for a while now, absorbing the rules and ideas before we book a year long honeymoon/gap-year starting in July 07. The DONE5 ex GIB appears to be the best value for the ticket and AAAdvantage the most suitable FF Programme.

I think this route is allowable as it passes the MilageMonkey (0.95008) test but I thought I’d post it here for comments.

GIB-LGW,
ZRH-JFK,
YUL-DFW-YVR,
SEA-ORD,
LAS-MIA-SJO,
MEX-LIM-GRU,
GIG-SCL-AKL,
WLG-SYD-AYQ-CNS-NRT,
ICN-HKG-BOM-DXB-LHR,
LGW-GIB

The trip includes month long stops in Vancouver, Wellington, Sydney and India so that we can get to know some of these places rather than rush around like crazy tourists which is normally the case.

There’s also some nice overland segments planned including New York – Montreal by road, Chicago-Denver by Amtrak and San Jose-Mexico City by local airline.

We’ll sign up for the Platinum Challenge at the end of June and buy the DONE5 tickets with a new Citibank card.

Have I really thought of everything?
