Thanks again serfty.
After getting three to switch on International calls and trying to dial until 2:30am I gave up and went to bed. Got up at 7:30am and went to work, only to find I could dial AA from work fine, but not from my mobile for some reason. The whole process only took about 10 minutes because only the first 5 flights could be dated, the rest are open.
At least the boss is letting me go home early today because I feel like crap after not enough sleep. ^
My final itinerary is:
- JNB-HKG on CX
- HKG-DEL on CX
- DEL-NRT on JL
- NRT-PEK on JL
- SURFACE
- PVG-HKG on CX
- HKG-JFK on CX (AA codeshare and PLT Challenge flight)
- JFK-UVF on AA
- UVF-MIA on AA
- MIA-LAX on AA (in First!)
- LAX-DFW on AA (in First!)
- DFW-YVR on AA
- YVR-MEX on JL (Sneaky)
- MEX-MAD on IB (AA Cape Town had no probs with this)
- SURFACE
- CAI-MAD on IB
- MAD-HEL on AY (Finnair)
- HEL-BUD on AY
- BUD-xLHR on BA
- LHR-DAR on BA
50,191 Miles + 25% Business Bonus + PLT Status from HKG-JFK onwards gives me a total of 90,130 miles at the end of my trip.
If I spend the next six months before I leave playing Live Search Club everyday at work then maybe I'll get another 90,000!
Dollar went up again against everything, the DONE4 without taxes is now only AU$5388, awesome. Hopefully taxes won't be too much. And to think, with +++ it's probably only going to be $1500 more than a LONE4 with Qantas.
Just waiting on taxes to book it!
