quebec -- I will have to think about that one (i.e. how much do I want to deplete my supplies http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif). But like I said, make it to BKK and you will be sure of a reward.
Now, this is getting quite lucrative (and crazy!) and has got me to thinking of doing something like you are planning. I'm trying to put together a family reunion which involves bringing together a bunch of people from around the world to one location. To my mind this would make good use of all those bonuses on offer. Out of interest, how long a trip are you planning with that itinerary? [This message has been edited by mgm (edited 08-29-1999).] |
Just a note on using separate FF accounts. On the RTW trips I have booked in the past my AA FF number has never managed to make it onto all segements in the booking - this may be a glitch in interface between all the res systems but I think you would be able to get away with it by not giving a FF number on booking and then only having the number entered on check in for each segment.

Unfortunately mgm I think the BKK get-together is in mid-October when I'll be in Madrid (Although if I can find a cheap ticket from Madrid to BKK........ No don't even think about it)
As for how long the trip is - I leave AUstralia 29 Sep for JNB on points.I then start the ONEWorld ticket from CPT on Oct 4, getting back to Sydney 4 weeks later, leaving me November and December to have a side-trip to Tahiti and then go up to Asia on my way back to Capetown. |
We will await trip reports (or a final big trip report) with great interest!

quebec -- how about IB & AY MAD - BKK via AMS & HEL. Go on, you know you want to ... http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Not only does he know my favourite champagne but he can read my mind as well - this is getting scary!!!!!!!

BlondeBomber,
By the time I finish the trip I'll have Krug flowing through my veins - do you seriously think that I'll be in any state to write a trip report or that anything that I'd write would bear any resemblance to reality? |
A little bit of unreality never hurt a good story http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
|
In that case I'll start writing my trip reports now - hey there's a thought for a new forum : Trip Reports for Journeys Yet to be Undertaken
|
3544quebec - Maybe you would like to know that AY has joined in the promo! So far only IB & CP are not in.... YET?
|
quebec - when can we see a new itinerary that covers all five 100K bonuses?
|
Watch this space - I've taken up the challenge. I just have to book my MAD-AMS-HEL-BKK trip first.

Quebec, I stand in awe of your incredible feat. I am humbled when I look at your calculations. It makes me realize that it is possible to achieve the unreachable dream of unlimited miles, to soar as eagles on cost free tickets, and to bind the airlines with some of the schackles they use to bind us.
YOU DESERVE SOME KIND OF AN AWARD. All those in favor of an award for Quebec, clap loudly. |
