I'm Set AONE4 almost in the bag

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the OW forum members for the great advice and tips in setting up my AONE4. Only been lurking around here for a couple of months and have learnt so much!

I just got off the phone with the AA RTW desk and my PNR is going down for rating tomorrow (whatever that means).

All I have left to do now is get the thing ticketed, but with all the good reports I have heard on here about Emeco I am feeling quite confident.

Of course I just have to wait until April 06 before it actually kicks off!

Routing, for those that are interested is:

CAI-LHR

BA F(break, work does get in the way sometimes)

LHR-LAX-AUS

AA F (visit friends)

DFW-ORD-SFO

AA F [777 from DFW - ORD] (love SFO)

SFO-JFK

AA F (just wanted to experience P)

LGA-DFW-YVR

AA F (visit friends)

break here and fly back to LHR hopefully using eVIPs on AA :D

YVR-HKG-NRT

CX F (Birthday treat in Tokyo)

NRT-HGK-DEL

CX F & J (Everyone tells me India is great place to visit)

DEL-HKG-ADL

CX J & F (visit friends)

ADL-DRW-PER

QF J (because I can and haven't seen PER yet)

PER-MEL

QF J (Mum and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary)

MEL-HKG-LHR

CX F (Home again James)

LHR-CAI

BA F (and sadly it all ends here, unless the next one has been sorted by then)

Looks good - have a good trip!

Just one minor point for miles calculating purposes... DFW-YVR will be in D not A. The service is the same, but AA calls North America International Y/J now, not Y/F.

A question for CX watchers: CX has downgraded several "F" routes in recent times, so I am always waiting for the next shoe to drop. Would you say HKG-ADL is a 'safe' 3-class service route?

Who knows? I'd guess medium-safe while it goes to/from MEL, but if they went to a simple HKG-ADL-HKG I guess that would be 2-class, like PER.

For about US$100 max (can probably find it cheaper), you can go to MEL and buy a ticket to ADL. Besides the class concern, there is also a limited schedule to ADL.
