RTW - Maximize Pts.
I am not sure if it is too late, but I am doing a RTW for biz, and managed to do it all Star Alliance.
However, as a United MP 1K member, I am wondering if there is a way to maximize the number of miles and EQM I can get...
Here is my itinerary
LAX-FRA paid C on LH
FRA-NCE paid C on LH
NCE-MUC paid Y on LH (C was full, sigh)
MUC-BKK paid C on TG
BKK-HAN paid C on TG
HAN-BKK paid C on TG
BKK-LAX paid C on TG
The Star Alliance RTW calculator summed the basic miles at about 21,544.
I know I get 150% elite bonus on the LAX-FRA... and all the other flights (aside from the one Y fare) will get me 125% EQM.
But where am I on redemable miles? Again, I know I get 200% on LAX-FRA, but are the rest just 125% RDM?
Any other suggestions???
