Any suggestions on how to get back to SEA from CNS?
Regarding mileage plans - currently just in Alaska's. Sounds like I'd need to join one - given the rough itinerary, are any more favorable than others?
Didn't consider the mileage bonus by going DONE4 vs LONE4 - great input - thanks!
CNS-SYD-JFK-SEA; CNS-SYD-YVR-train (in season); CNS-SYD-LAX and a purchased ticket... and so on. You can burn N. America segments all too easily trying to fly up and down the west coast - SYD-LAX-ORD-SEA for instance.
For mileage plans, I'd join AA's since you can book Alaska miles to AA and v.v. Go to the AA board and read the sticky threads on the Platinum Challenge. Very important if you want to optimize mileage earning in any RTW.
