So I called the EXP desk and stated I want to go to Shanghai, Singapore, and Hong Kong in no particular order from Austin leaving on DEC 17th returning on the 30th. So, I have on hold a booking that looks like this: AUS-ORD-PVG on AA; PVG-KIX-SIN on JL; HK-LAX-DFW-AUS on CX/AA

I believe that itinerary is booked on a 110k mile one world award.

Then, I believe as a separate booking, I am going SIN-HK via BKK on CX. I believe as a 45k mile award. Everything is in J for my wife and I. The entire thing works out to 310k miles. 220k total + 90k total

I would like input to make sure that A. is this legal award booking and B. is this the best use of miles? She did not look into any Circle Pacific fares or special One World awards and I'm not sure if any of them would apply here. I just want to make sure that this booking is legal because it matches my dates perfectly (4 nights in each location) and secondary that I am not using more miles than I have to.

Thanks!

You should be able to do this as a oneworld award for 130K miles/each (your routing is just under the 20K mile mark).

Definitely seems like you should be able to save a few miles this way.

<deleted> just noticed OP is only interested in Shanghai, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Thanks so much, I was able to book it on one itinerary as a 130k Oneworld award.
