This is a Great deal if you want to TOP up a OW280F to a OW330F..cost $1105 if you use your Citi Card, this gives you 50,000 ponts. And an extra 15,000 miles of First Class Travel.

With careful planning starting in LAX and using the OW AAward - less than 24 hours stopover rule, you can actually fly First Class -Around the World with a stop in Sydney for an amazing $1105..Surely the best value in air travel..By making AKL your turnaround: Departures from DFW and most places West open up. Book and ticket Before 1 Sept 2008 of course when this great loophole vanishes.

Unfortunately the hardest part will be the QF Pacific leg in First, but if you have spare sectors you can fly CX or JL via HKG or NRT.
