Planning on claiming a QA/BA reward this summer.
After all my miles post, I plan to have 150K QA.
I need to leave boston and get SST outbound and return in first/concord.
I need to hit paris for about 3 days, and CTA for another 3-4.
Whats my best option?</font>
I would say to get a BA award on concorde/club europe from JFK-LHR-CDG-LHR-FCO-LHR-BOS (or JFK if you want to do concorde both ways) and pay the extra points for a stopover in Paris and purchase a ticket roundtrip from FCO-CTA and from BOS-JFK
This will cost 125,000 for the flight plus an extra 10,000 points for the stopover. The FCO-CTA flight in economy will cost around $220.
If you were to add on the BOS-JFK sector, then it would add 25,000 points to the cost since it would become an OW award with AA/BA. I don't think that a one way from BOS-JFK is worth 25,000 points really. Just buy a cheapie one way or round trip ticket with AA down to New York.
There does not seem to be any OW carriers which fly from London or Paris to CTA so a OW award to CTA doesnt seem possible.
if you want to spend any time in london, you are allowed a stopover of up to 23hrs 59 minutes for no charge
