Round the world on miles
 

Hello folks,

I have searched these forums but haven't come across this specific topic. Perhaps it is unique ;)

I have points with Flying Blue (100k), Miles & More (98k), and BA Avios (85k), and want to blow them on a RTW in business class next year (early bird and all that).

My dream itinerary would be:

Europe-JNB-BUE//PUQ-IPC-PPT-AKL-MNL-Europe.

I'm sure there will be someone out there who can suggest the best use of those hard-earned miles! I'm particularly curious if anyone knows the best approach to making Europe-JNB-BUE into one single journey with a stopover.

I'm not averse to any bonus stopovers I could work into the itinerary, but the stopovers above are a must.

I feel I should mention I am not American.

BUE? Do you mean EZE (Buenos Aires)?

Buenos Aires has two commercial airports: AEP and EZE; "BUE" is the IATA code that covers both (just as "NYC" covers LGA, JFK, and EWR). ;)

Have you checked out what the business class miles fare is one each of these segments? You'll have to book it as a series of one-ways since you don't have enough miles for a RTW with those alliances that still offer these. I think you may be a but short to be honest!
