What to do with the remaining coupons
DONE5 ex CMB
Mrs WF and I are considering a DONE5 to cover our travel
plans over the remaining portion of 2005.
Holiday in CMB (Mrs 1st trip) and HKG
A long weekend in DRW (also finishes LONE4)
A conference / visiting relatives in USA (there are
some missed cousins in SJU) followed by time around
EZE and CAI (first stip for both) before heading back.
All enclosed by some flights to visit some out of the way
airports, some to say we've been there - some to recover
jet lag before important stops.
And some celebration on both of us attaining OW Emerald.
There are a number of issues resulting from different US routings

17 segments
One segment is reserved to return to CMB
Issue - Routing
What do I do with the extra 2 coupons I have? A round trip in
Oz would be nice but that would be 5 South Pacific coupons.
And the first PER-MEL is a red-eye and we really do want to
travel together. And QF business is hard to find with miles -
although perhaps post-May24 will be better?
Suggestions please given the existing routing.
Thanks
WF
Oh yes a couple of more issues with this to come
