Finally got South America ticketed. SYD-ICN J ICN-JFK F EWR-GRU J MIA-PHL F PHL-LAX F LAX-ICN J ICN-SYD J Will book a one way Avianca redemption to get to Miami probably out of Quito. Would have preferred to depart out of South America but was getting to hard to find decent flights. Booked...

Yeah the original plan was to go through BKK to JNB and on to GRU but was planning on doing the Open Jaw into and out of different cities to minimise additional internal flights... I will have another look at availability there though. Hadn't considered Turkish, what is their product like?

Hi all, After some advice about a trip to South America. Planning on Open Jaw from Sydney through to Quito and then Rio back to Sydney. Originally had some itineraries through NY but was over the MPM. I then tried through LAX and found some availability but also apparently over the MPM with one...

Not a single question was raised about the stop over or the itinerary in general. I dont think the agent was really clear on the requirements she just let the computer do the points calculation and locked in the flights I had found as requested. Westin looks like the best property in Guam I...

Booked a Guam trip in April next year over easter. SYD-ICN-NRT J (STOP) (5 nights) NRT-GUM J (DEST) (3 nights) GUM-HKG-BKK-SYD J (Overnight in HKG so that we can see the city) All j, 30,000 miles per person, $333 taxes and booking fee. Where have people stayed in Guam they recommend? Was...

Yeah understand that, the issue was more around not really caring if I pay a little bit more tax because I still feel I am doing ok, and am getting some value out of the stop over!

I may call them back to clarify, but I may not bother as I will actually stop over night in London and visit my sister. I suspect why I got hit with higher tax fees is the way Dividend Miles issued tickets. I got one ticket on TG, One ticket on MS, and one ticket on UA. However, the connecting...

I have booked my second trip with Star Alliance. This itinerary is as follows all in J: SYD - BKK - JNB (STOP - TG J) JNB - CAI - LHR - LAX (Destination, MS J, MS J, UA J) LAX - SYD (UA J) Total points 110,000 (x 2) Taxes: $465pp Booking Fee: $50pp. Taxes a little high from having to go...

Ok so just to confirm, I just locked away this booking. No questions about the routing or cost when I confirmed. Total price worked out to be about $2550 per person. Pretty good for round the world business class travel. Thank you again for everyone who provided input into suggested itinerary's.

Awesome - I will be confirming my booking tonight. Fingers crossed.

Heh, well there were no magic tricks. Just a bit lucky with the agent I think. I just called up, said I wanted to book to JNB, then added on the multi city routing piece by piece and she never questioned me or even asked anything about it being as valid itinerary. The just priced it all up and...

Ok... So I just got off the phone with the call center and have the following on hold. SYD - BKK - JNB (J), JNB - CAI - LHR - LAX (J), LAX - SYD (J). Quoted 110,000 miles per person, $465~tax and $50pp booking fee. Seems a bit low, but no questions asked about the round the world booking, but I...

Re: Go for f if u can...... Thanks for the help and advice. I can see availability through JNB - CAI - LHR - LAX. Might not be doable, but might try it and see if it works. I booked the last itinerary for June / July this year. So not long ago, first agent rejected it, second agent booked it...

Re: Go for f if u can...... To clarify, last trip i did was (for 150k points per person) SYD - Seoul - Vancouver - STOP Vancouver - Frankfurt - STOP Frankfurt - BKK - SYD - STOP Not a valid itinerary but was able to book it through the agent giving them specific flights. So I do think it is...

Re: Go for f if u can...... Business or First not really too fussed. Would prefer Business only. Update: Was looking at SYD - BKK - JNB (STOP) JNB - LAX? LAX - SYD direct. Couldnt see any direct availability on UA on the dates i wanted. Looking on Aeroplan, Lifemiles and ANA.

Re: Go for f if u can...... Hi all, After some suggestions for an upcoming trip in April 2013. We are planning on going to the USA for a wedding (preferably into LAX but not too fussed). But we want to maybe tack on a trip to Africa, I know it isnt exactly on the way, but none the less. Ideal...

Thats good to hear, it was purely subjective ;) The initial research I did said not all had the fully flat beds (havent confirmed if my flight does), and the photos didnt look amazing but sounds quite promising.

Finally got around to getting organised for a Canada trip in the middle of the year. Am now routing through Europe (Frankfurt) on the way home to catch some of the Tour De France! Have on hold: Sydney - Seoul (Asiana) - Vancouver (Air Canada) Business Vancouver - Frankfurt (Lufthansa) Business...

Hi all, Many thanks for the great thread. Have been reading and studying for a while and am thinking about getting ready to book something in the near future maybe. I am in the process of organising an itinerary for June / July 2012 touring Canada and a bit of the US. I would like to route back...
