so im still trying to learn about open jaws and stop overs on award ticket. can someone please advise if it is possible to book a ticket from dubai to shanghai with a stop over in delhi both ways? how many miles will be required for this award ticket?
if i go straight to book this it will cost 100,000 miles in economy, as this will be considered a 3 region award. is it possible for me to book this for less miles?

By the book its a 3 Region award (ME-S.Asia-N.Asia). No real way to avoid it.

If flying on a MUC-based 333 with new C, does that mean its a new aircraft and will have the latest IFE? IME the 747-8 had significantly more choices than 744 despite the retrofit...

Newby to the M&M program and looking to book partner awards to Australia. If my preferred routing (HNL-AKL-SYD-AKL-HNL) is unavailable, I may have to route HNL-GUM-CNS (open jaw) SYD-AKL(stop)-HNL.
Wanted help to clear up a couple of minor questions. First, 1 open jaw and 1 stopover are allowed on a return award ticket, right?
Also, I see Guam listed under the Australia, New Zealand, & Oceania region but the flight award advisor tool, under Australia, NZ, & Oceania says: "Northern Mariana Islands except Guam". I'm assuming I can just trust the "Regions and destinations" list, but is there any reason to believe otherwise?
Thanks in advance.

Yes the brand new A330 have the same ex2 system from Panasonic like the 748. The retrofitted A330/346 will have the even better and faster RAVE IFE

Looks like I'm going to finally get to check out the A380 in C from FRA to IAH.....
So a couple of questions:
I've always enjoyed looking out of the window; however, most of the seats in biz class on the A380 appear to be over the wing. How's the outside view from the back, say from seat 23K?
Should I elect to sit in the back of the A380 in C, will this possibly affect the meal service (in other words, is it possible they will run out of a choice of entrees assuming they serve from front to back)?
Many thanks.....

First class is located forward of the business class section so the entire upper deck is not business class. In addition, there are no business class seats located ahead of the wing. And yes, it's a big wing......

Yes they are blocked.... I'm not able to reserve one for a flight in about four weeks on an A346. Guess you can only hope to snag one at OLCI.
