AA does not do LAX-SXM. It does LAX-SJU however.

Yes - good point. HKG-KHI is even better.

So:

BOM-HKG-KHI-HKG-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST-LHR-LAX-SXM-JFK-DFW-ANC-DFW-JFK-SYD-PER-DRW-MEL-AKL-HKG-BOM

for 69670 miles.


That should be enough for EXP on a 4 cont OWE for less than $6000...not too bad.

Impossible, even with an F ticket. Half of it's in business. Would probably net about 85k points, just by looking at it. You can do it with a 4 cont F class, iirc, but not with that one.

By my reckoning it's at least 97478 Q-miles, but anyway...

Here is the AONE4 getting EXP and meeting virtualtroy's requirements:

BOM-HKG-KHI-HKG-AKL-SYD-PER-DRW-SYD-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST-LHR-LAX-JFK-DFW-ANC-DFW-SJU-JFK-HKG-BOM

which is 71689 base miles, which (I think) splits 45184/26505 in F/J, for 100907 Q-miles.

Hey guys - before you get carried away suggesting I should get a OWE in F, even J seems pretty pricey... Or is this based on J travel in N America being in F by default? Thanks for all the contributions, btw...

i found 1.35-1.40 to be a good estimate for the mix of J/F segments for AONE#. (most of the times it turned out to be close to 1.4)

christep Dec 3, 2002 11:47 pm

Well to get to my figure for the J/F split I took the following sectors in F/A, on the basis of what is currently showing in itn.net for June next year which is when you would have to do it to get the ANC flights:

HKG-AKL; SYD-LHR-DXB-LHR; LHR-LAX-JFK-DFW-ANC-DFW; JFK-HKG
