FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Thank you J.Edward for the AA miles!!!

I just constructed probably the most lucrative Oneworld reward ever (in Business).

JFK-YYZ on LAN
YYZ-LHR on BA
LHR-CDG on BA
ORY-MAD-BCN on IB
BCN-MAD-BOS on IB
BOS-LGA on AA

Total miles traveled came out to 8973, just 27 miles shy of needing another 10k miles to redeem for the reward. So this all cost 80k miles and $240 in taxes and fees each ^

Nicely done (and kudos to coin boy for lending a helping hand)! :D

Good point. There are sufficient flights in the day to handle the cancellations, probably, and nobody connects out of AUS or SAT. This is one big rain event. Take a peek at wunderground and look at that front along the coast.

Just landed IAH. And 1595 is supposed to be pushing off now, or very shortly. So much for my 1E seat... :(

Ehh? :confused: Do they operate this to shuttle an aircraft between the two cities?

It is one of the random 5th freedom routes out there. They fly the YYZ as an add-on to their routes from the south and they have authorities to carry pax on that route. I almost flew it over labor day but ended up on Porter Air instead.

BTW, I listened to the Mad Dog chronicles. Now I would love to hear a Russo editorial on the design of the new CO elite cards. (Haven't seen them yet; I'm not going out to the mailbox in this weather, just what I read in one of the threads)
