Didn't know that.... It looks like my only way to close off the trip. I'll take another route, if there are any suggestions to get me an F seat in winter.

Another thing that's changed since my last AONE3 from CAI. I'll maybe skip this and do something else in America and buy a one-way LAS-LAX.

I've thought about it, and nearly included it on my last RTW. The last time DFW-ANC-ORD was an option. I'll have a look, but another 5 hours in an AA first seat will be a little tough with a 3 hour turnaround. Not sure I'll have the time to stop in ANC.

Problem is getting off the plane in BAH and re-boarding for DOH. With the DXB option, I can arrive in DXB the am, travel to AUH, do a AUH-MCT-AUH on a turnaround and then travel back to DXB for the return to LHR the next night... A shameless points run.
