Suggestions for Global Explorer 39000
Will appreciate suggestions to determine my itinerary for end Nov, early Dec 2005.
syd-hnl-lax-den-ord-mia-jfk-lhr-mad-fra-dxb-hkg-bkk-khi-bom-syd.
I have tried to keep moving in continuous direction with little backtracking.
Above is no more than 34000 but my listing these ports is not set in concrete. Of these, lax mia jfk mad dxb hkg khi bom are desired destinations. Any of the others may be deleted if necessary.
Travel in economy and I am OW saphire. I dont really care for FF points (QF) but would like to maximise SCs.
