IST-EWR-LAX-SFO-IAD-BAH-IAD-SFO-LAX-SFO-IAD-BAH-IAD-SFO-LAX-EWR-IST. But,its in 11 days total,with 4 days between the BAH runs and no direct turns,total 52715 mls for 2166$
I dont realy understand people who find long haul flights so horrible,in my experience any Y flight over,say 5 hours,actualy lasts forewer,-and then it stops. The trick is to drastically lower your expectations,preferably to zero!!!!

The last SFO turn was usually around 11pm and the Spa (which had the shower) facility charged ~$11 for 30 mins.

That's insane. I thought I was hardest but you beat to me to it. Don't forget the power of 1st or business class lounge access. Shower, eat, freshen up, shave, spa treatment, wifi access, work room (to catch up on meetings or work presentations) and you will not miss having a hotel bed on the MR.

I did this run last week and the flight from IAD to BAH which stops in KWI
Are not full in EC. But they are full in the back. I was lucky to get 3 seats and was able to sleep both ways . Do if you plan to go make sure you upgrade to a EC seat and then watch for empty seats. Good luck.

This isnt Cairo.
Not once did I feel unsafe driving in the country.
Of course if one is just going to stay behind hotel walls, just take a taxi.

Apparently it is only Saudi Arabia where it might be an issue.

I'm doing DEN-SFO-LAX-IAD-KWI-BAH on 11/23-24 and BAH-KWI-IAD-EWR-LAX-DEN on 11/24-25, and I may book another. If anyone is on one of those flights, it'd be nice to meet you, PM me or something.

You can print the BAH-KWI-IAD before departure from IAD. While I try to print them, I also stop by the transit desk with a printout of my reservation. The gate security people at KWI, liked seeing the transit desk printed boarding passes MUCH better than the ones I printed in advance. In fact, the gate security guy led me to the transit desk for a reprint. BAH may be different but my best advice is to try and print them in advance but go by the transit desk anyway with your reservation printout for a reprint.

I have done a Lax- BAH and LAX- KWI
Much more in Kuwait to see and I walked around because needed to after long ride. I took a taxi in Bahrain and it was smarter, safer and easier. Not much to see in BAH. One day was fine for me. Long ride but the plane is full of contractors and military coming and going. If you have status you will get a E+ seat usually without someone next to you.

There are lots of opportunities to massage the itinerary for a few more miles,especially the 500 mile minimums. e.g. I farelocked LAX-EWR-IAD-KWI-BAH-KWI-IAD-JFK-LAX 20,079 PQM for $715.80, 3.6 cpm. Now searching for positioning deals from MSY. Did the BAH run in April from IAH with a pleasant overnight in BAH.

To keep the number of segments down, I did a multi-segment on UA.com using LAX-EWR, EWR-KWI, KWI-BAH, BAH-KWI, KWI-JFK, JFK-LAX. You just have to experiment and have patience!

1 Adults (age 18 to 64) $199.00
Taxes/Fees $511.50
Total $710.50
The base far is ridiculous.
