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.

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!
