Please Check this rtw it-thanks
Hi and thanks for all the help in the past and present:
I will be flying J-class and my goal is for about 80,000 Q-points to keep my exp-plat status. Bos-dfw-hnl-dfw-zrh-dxb-lhr-hkg-nrt-sin-bne( 2 week stay)-drw-per-syd-lax-mia-bos I could do per-syd akl-lax. But I am open to suggestions but I do have time constraints- I will start Oct 12 and have tob in Bne by 18th and can leave Bne N0v 1 or 2nd but have to be back in bos by 5th or 6th. Thanks, Sara |
Can't do HNL except on the way to/from SYD ... ie. you must go SYD-HNL-US mainland or DFW-HNL-SYD in your example (restriction in the OWE fare rules). Instead of HNL you can do DFW-ANC-DFW if you leave while those flights are in season (end mid-September).
ZRH-DXB is of course ZRH-LHR-DXB but you are within the segment limits so that should be OK. |
NRT-SIN is similarly via HKG...

Thanks, Sara Plus your "legal" itin (after HNL changes etc.) is considerably less than 80K Q-points. You might think about finishing the RTW back in the US with some mileage running - long, non "transcon" routes like BOS-RNO or DFW-SJU, in order to get to the 80K. Edited to add... For example, you could go BOS-DFW-ZRH-LHR-DXB-LHR-xSIN-BNE in the first 6 days (not much sleep except in flying "beds.") Then BNE-DRW-PER-BNE while you're in Oz, then BNE-SIN-HKG-NRT-HKG-JFK in the six travel days allowed in Nov. (counting on the date line to squeeze in a hotel night or two.) Then you could do a N. America mileage/sun run later - for instance (my pick) would be JFK-YVR-DFW-SJU-DFW-BOS so as to have a bit more CX experience, but you could do something else using LAX or Central America. All in, the route I've laid out is around 58K BIS and 87K Q-pts and uses all 20 segments. I've assumed ZRH is in your itinerary for a reason; if not then you could save a Euro and a NA coupon by going straight from the east coast to London. BNE-AKL-HKG-SIN... might be a beneficial (mileage) use of the extras. |
I don't know whether connections would work out, but
JFK-HKG-NRT-HKG-DPS-HKG-MEL-BNE-PER-CBR-MEL-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST-LHR-BOS JFK-SJ0-JFK is 54082 miles, about 81k points. It assumes that IST is still not on the far-places-from-London BA exclusion, and that you make your way to JFK from BOS on a separate ticket and start your OWE there - with a little luck you'll find a seat on the CX nonstop to HKG. Likewise if you buy a separate ticket BOS-JFK-BOS and do the SJO MR from there you'll still have two NA segments you can use for something longer if you come up short on miles (SJO again? It's not a bad place to visit, MR aside.) Good luck planning. |
