Yes/No: DAR, CMN, and DKR in one week on OW?
Just wondering if I should salvage the remainder of a OW award ticket:
CMB-LHR-DAR-LHR-CMN-MAD-DKR-MAD-SJU
by hitting three African cities in one week...
Sadly, not enough time to do it right, but I just hate the idea of throwing another ticket away
Anyway, what would you do:
1) throw away ticket, don't visit Africa, miss out on BA Club World as well as crappy Iberia, and save cash to visit family later in the year;
2) use part of ticket and visit (in biz class) only east Africa and Morocco over 10 days, enough time to actually do some sightseeing, then book a coach ticket back to Asia from CMN or MAD; or
3) use most of the remaining ticket but only pass through each of the destinations for a day or two, with some voluntary downgrades to WT and WTP on BA and some long days connecting via Madrid on Iberia Airbuses, then book a coach ticket back to Asia from MAD
Thanks,

Have you considered paying the change fee ($100, I think, but you need to ckeck this) and reissuing the ticket with a more convenient itinerary, or even a completely different one? Seems to me a better alternative to the more drastic one of throwing it away?
