I forgot about the one transcon rule. Fortunately so did they! Confirmed and ticketed http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Why not fly DFW-LGB-EWR/JFK-SFO-DFW, that is only one transcon? There are two flights a day LGB-EWR. You might even be able to swing DFW-LAX/LGB if LAX and LGB are co-terminals (I don't know if they are).

DFW-LAX-SXM-SJU-JFK-DFW = 7,986 but since you only get 1.25 points per long segment to the caribbean, not so good.

This is what you proposed:

DFW-SFO-JFK-SFO-DFW = 8,100 but against the rules, how about:

DFW-LGB-EWR/JFK-SFO-DFW = 7,714
DFW-BOS-SNA-LGA/JFK-SFO-DFW = 10,652
DFW-BOS-SNA-BOS-SFO-DFW = 10,914

kanebear,

seems CX is more 'flexible' on the rules http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
what are the numbers you called to get these tickets?

thx

I need to thank all of you for your thoughts and ideas. I am on the list of RTW x/JNB as of today. Although not the best mileage wise, I am going to see the cities (a crime according to some pure-mileage run individuals http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif). Now, if I can just convince my girlfriend to go along. BTW, Sarah at the AA RTW desk is great!!

JNB-LHR-ATH-BCN-CDG-DFW
DFW-MIA-SFO-ORD
ORD-SJU-ORD
ORD-MIA-MDE/BOG-SCL-IPC-SCL-EZE-AKL-BNE-CNS-SYD-SIN-CGK-HKG-JNB

(I hope this is how you are supposed to write them)
