124k QF points

I chose the AA points, and am learning the relative value of them vs QF at least for this type of trip.
Nice trip. Ever since QF changed their fees by point policy so you have to pay for every leg, not for every trip it has become prohibitiv to use points to pay for the fees of connecting flights.
