I need to travel in November. Here's the criteria:
Originate OTP (Bucharest, RO) between 2 and 4 Nov
Must be in Washington, DC area by 5 Nov, 2006 for the Redskins/Cowgirls game.
Must be in DAC (Dhaka, Bangladesh) from 11-16 Nov.
Return to OTP anytime after that.
I know there's a 3 stop minimum and, given the pain-in-the-neck location and routing restrictions for both OTP and DAC, I figure more stops will be required to make this work, even at the minimum mileage level.

Preferred stops other than WAS and DAC: SEA and CAI, but other than that I'm easy. I don't really want to do a Europe stop on the way to DC, I'd rather break up the IAD-DAC trip into 2 or 3 portions to ease the pain. I don't mind 24-48 hour stops anywhere other than the two main stops.

I'd like to maximize my time on UA metal for the E+ seating (I'm 6'5" and can't consider a trans-pac in E- without shuddering).

I've got an: OTP-IAD-SEA-SIN-DAC-CAI-OTP itinerary sorta laid out, but I'm not a huge fan of the CAI stop: Having made four stops already, at that point I'll probably just want to get home but I can't make the program do it.
Any help/suggestions/telling me I'm an idiot for not considering X, Y and/or Z is appreciated.

Could you elaborate on what the problem is with CAI?

Do you have to go there, and how were you planning to do DAC-CAI-OTP? You could just fly DAC-SIN-europe or similar instead.

Ah, sorry. The only stops I must make are DAC and IAD. I couldn't get the RTW calculator software to generate a valid itinerary returning to OTP directly from DAC (too many connections? Bad scheduling?) so I had to insert an intermediate stop, in this case Cairo. Problem is there ain't much West of DAC and East of OTP for *A customers to connect through, at least not that I can find. I'd love to fly back from DAC to OTP as quickly as possible but couldn't make it work. CAI is an OK stop, I used to live there and have friends there, but at that point I think I'll be ready to just get home.

Sorry if I'm missing something.

I have no problem at all generating an itinerary with the calculator such as:

OTP-xMUC-IAD-xNRT-SIN-DAC-xBKK-xVIE-OTP

Whether or not it works for your timing or preferences of course is a different matter.

You will have to make a stopover >24 hrs in a third city to comply with the rules, and you will have to make sure you are not trying to do it all in less than the minimum time.

Thanks muchly. I'll try and muscle something like that through. I think I'm just using bad days or flight times or something. Again, appreciated! ^
