I wonder if I could prey on the greater experience of my fellow FTers on an AONE I am attempting to put together? My main concern is the availability of A class seats on BA, JL and CX.

I'm looking to book a Oneworld AONE4 from MRU starting in September using 100k BA miles to get Mrs Simon50 and me there if award seats are available or pick up 2 "cheap" seats if not.

Time constraints, both of us being self-employed, means we have to split the journey up into 10 months which means we could only book everything 2 months before we start from what I understand.

The itinerary I would prefer would be:

MRU/LHR - 1 sector (or is it segment?) used (BA First) 180 BA Tier Points
LHR/AGP/LHR - 2 sectors 80 TPs
LHR/DXB/LHR - 2 sectors (BA First) 360 TPs
LHR/NRT/SIN/HKG/DPS/HKG/JFK - 6 sectors (1 BA First and 3 CX/JL FC) - 680 TPs
JFK/BGI/JFK - 2 sectors - 240 TPs
JFK/MBJ/JFK - 2 sectors - 80 TPs
JFK/BDA/JFK - 2 sectors - 80 TPs
JFK/MRU via LHR - 2 sectors (BA First) - 360 TPs
We would then start another AONE4 or 5 to get home - 180 TPs

19 sectors with 9 in FC plus 4 MFU JFK/LHR/JHR - 600 TPs giving a total of 2660 (plus 180 for MRU/LHR) earning a couple of GUF2500s.

The only time we would have time for the Far East leg would be 3 weeks over Christmas.

If it is unlikely we would be able to get many First Class seats then I would rather go for a DONE4. Based in London, where would be the most economical place to start. The UK is £7,400 ($14,800) each for AONE4 plus taxes, Mauritius is half this price.

Thanks

Simon
