CCP-SCL-DFW-DTW
DTW-ORD-MAD-BCN-CAI
CAI-LHR-DEL
DEL-HKG-PEK
PEK-SYD-AKL
AKL-SCL-IPC
IPC-SCL
SCL-MIA
Obviously, I started in Concepcion to allow connections and a stopover in Santiago. I added the Miami leg at the end only because it fit with my other travel plans and didn't add to the cost, since I was still under 35,000 miles.
The AKL-IPC leg is terribly inefficient, taking me through Santiago and then backtracking, but I've always wanted to go there (IPC, that is).
Congratulations on getting the AKL-SCL leg. I tried for weeks on a 150C and finally gave up and decided to spend a few days in NRT instead (via HKG) on the way home. Granted I needed first week of Jan. Anyways, have a great trip. Mind if I ask what week you got those legs?
