How many tier points will you get in total ? How long will it all take ?

I can pay with a UK credit card, and they will post the tickets to my UK address, all of this despite the fact that the itinerary is ex-IST. I am very impressed with BA UK telesales at the moment. Now just got to pluck up the courage to call back and actually spend four and a half grand :eek: ....

I just called AA RTW and got all the ex-IST prices from them:

Code:

     3    4    5    6

AONE 6649 7649 8899 10199

DONE 4699 5299 5999  6899

Did you submit that itinerary for pricing before April 15? That price you were quoted including taxes (about €6280) is much lower than the current AONE3 fare before taxes.

I think it's around 1300 TPs. It can take as long or as little as one wants really. In reality, you couldn't do the whole itinerary in less than a fortnight. I believe the last flight can be no longer than 1 year after the first flight.

No, I called BA on Monday April 17th (definitely that day as it was Bank Holiday here in the UK).

Such things interest me (no life) so I ran a quick calc - below.

Code:

                 Mi          TP         Notes

IST        LHR         1,565         40        

LHR        SFO         5,367         180        

SFO        ORD         1,846         60        

ORD        LAX         1,745         60        

LAX        LAS         236         20        Y svc only

LAS        LAX         236         20        Y svc only

LAX        YYZ         2,175         120        no F

YYZ        JFK         366         20        Y svc only

JFK        HKG         8,072         180        

HKG        SIN         1,588         60        

SIN        HKG         1,588         60        

HKG        NRT         1,842         60        

NRT        HKG         1,842         60        

HKG        LHR         5,994         180        

LHR        DXB         3,420         180        

DXB        LHR         3,420         180        

LHR        IST         1,565         40        

                Total        1520

If you switched to YYZ-LGA you can ride up front (J on Canada-US flights, not F) on two flights a day (others are Y only RJs.) LAX-LAS is all Y (Eagle) now. There are certainly ways to squeeze a lot more miles and TPs out of your N. America segments IMO.

Boy, I would sure send off that credit card no. right now to avoid them re-pricing.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is an AONE3? Not in the glossary.

Check out the first questions in this thread. Basically the "A" means First Class, the "ONE" means oneWorld explorer ticket, and the "3" means 3 continents. So, for example, you could have a DONE5 which would be a 5 continent oneWorld explorer in Business.
