Thanks for the suggestions. Here is version 2 with the business preferences :
AFRICA - All business Commencing July 2008
JNB-DUR 1/4 Conair J
DUR-CPT 2/4 Conair J
CPT-LHR INTERCON BA First
I looked at starting in Capetown & adding MRU. However there is no MRU-LHR on the date that I need (4 July). Secondly, I need to be in JNB, DUR & CPT in that order for meetings.
EUROPE - Business + SC Run
LHR-MCT 1/4 SC Run BA First to MCT (thanks for the tip DownUnderFlyer)
MCT-LHR 2/4 SC Run BA First
I need to be in Milan for business by late Sun 6 July (no problem)LHR-MXP 3/4 BA CE
Then I need to go to Frankfurt - problem : no oneworld services MXP-FRA and only 1 Euro sector remaining. Should I just buy an extra segment and go :
MXP-HEL 4/4 J Finnair
HEL-FRA 5/4 J Finnair
??
Or - use the last Euro Sector back to LHR and go BA/CX First to HKG
& in turn - pay for the LHR-FRA-LHR side trip ?
FRA-HKG INTERCON CX First
or
LHR-HGK INTERCON BA/CX First
ASIA - Business + SC Run (Business in HKG only) Nice thinking on the Asian sectors PandaPerth. Is the multiple use of NRT legal ? HKG is the only stopover - the rest can be transit
HKG-NRT 1/4 SC Run JAL First
NRT-SIN 2/4 SC Run JAL First
SIN-NRT 3/4 SC Run JAL First
NRT-BKK 4/4 SC Run JAL First
BKK-SYD INTERCON BA/QF First
SW PACIFIC - All Business - but can be woven into my normal travel over some months
SYD-AKL 1/4 LA First
Then how do I use the SWP sectors AND get back to JNB ?
SYD-JNB At some point before July 09 QF
Many Thanks
