it took some work and patience but here is a 16 seg (max allowed) ow j award, 130k miles plus ~$170 in taxes/fees:

feb19 srq-mia aa y (1 class plane)
feb19 mia-mad aa j
feb20 mad-cai ib j (stop)
feb25 cai-lhr ba j
feb26 lgw-dbv ba j (stop)
mar04 dbv-lgw ba j
mar05 lgw-man ba j
mar05 man-ord aa j
mar05 ord-tpa aa f (stop)

jun12 tpa-sju aa f
jun12 sju-pos aa y (1 class plane) (stop)
jun17 pos-mia- aa f (stop)

oct09 - mia-ord aa f (stop)
oct21 - ord-mia aa f
oct21 - mia-srq aa y (1 class plane) (end)

The reason why my trip is not as creative as some others may be, is because of the destinations i needed. dbv is very difficult to get to with ow. pos is a must and i had to play around the rules to get there. you are only allowed 2 conx at any city plus one stopover. ord in oct was just a add on because it allowed me to stay within the 130k miles award. i will be changing dates for that trip as needed.



few years ago i did something like:

tpa-mia-gru-gig aa f (stop)
open jaw
gru-eze ba f (stop)
eze-scl-ipc la j (stop)
ipc-scl la j (stop)
scl-lim la j (stop)
lim-scl-mia la j and f
mia-tpa aa f (end)
