3. No one has reported that Oneworld Vopos come a-knocking if you fail to complete the required itinerary in a year; however it is technically a big boo-boo, and dead men tell no tales...
What is Blands?
OK, so I am risking hijacking SMart Monkey's OP, but this is the route we're thinking:
GIB-LHR-BKK-HKG-SYD-MEL-CNS-SYD-LAX (separate ticket: LAX-LHR (break) LHR-LAX)-SJU-BGI-JFK-DFW-SFO-LHR (Break) LHR-DXB-LHR(-GIB)
Makes for three nice trips in the year and all on the back of our nuptials.
Any thoughts/comment/mistakes? I think we could get more TPs by swapping SFO for SEA, but we have friends in SFO and want to go and may not need the TPs anyway.
