The big saving is on AONE4 ex-Japan - saving is roughly $4000
I just got a quote from AA for DONE4 ex NRT for AUD7268 (plus taxes). I'm now thinking of starting my DONE4 from NRT instead of SYD to save a few thousand dollars.
Here's my itinerary:
1: NRT-JFK: 1st of 1 (intercontinental entry to North America without immediate transit & departure)
2: JFK-BOS: 1st of 6 (North America)
3: BOS-ORD: 2nd of 6 (North America)
4: ORD-SLC: 3rd of 6 (North America)
5: LAS-LAX: 4th of 6 (North America)
6: LAX-LHR: intercontinental
7: LHR-FCO: 1st of 4 (Europe)
8: FCO-MAD: 2nd of 4 (Europe)
9: MAD-ATH: 3rd of 4 (Europe)
10: ATH-LHR: 4th of 4 (Europe)
11: LHR-SIN: intercontinental
12: SIN-SYD: intercontinental
13: SYD-SIN: 1st of 1 (intercontinental entry to Asia without immediate transit & departure)
14: SIN-HKG: 1st of 4 (Asia)
15: HKG-CGK: 2nd of 4 (Asia)
16: CGK-NRT: 3rd of 4 (Asia)
Congratulations!! Valid itinerary!!! - (41307 miles)
A few questions:
I should be AA PLT on my first flight NRT-JFK, right? Given a choice, should I take JAL (AA codeshare) or AA flight?
On LHR-SIN, SIN-SYD flights, can I stopover more than 24 hours in SIN?
I know that I can take additional flights in SWP, but I'm trying to limit to 16 segments, so I can get an eticket. After reading some posts here, I'm concern that I can run into some problems with paper tickets.
By the way can I pay my AA tickets with Oz CC here in SYD for DONE4 ex NRT? Is the procedure any different to issuing AA tickets ex SYD?
Thanks.
