Brag and a Request

[11sjw]

OK Brag 1st, I've just landed a big contract and the reward is two all expenses paid tix to the US Masters Golf in 7 or so weeks time.

Afterwards I'm going to our head office.

On the premise of being v busy and not really interested in SCs (on this trip) here can anyone in the AFF Collective come up with better routing than the following given the objective is to be in the vicinity of Augusta GA by the 4th/5th and have 2 nights near YQM straight after:

03Apr PER-SYD Red eye
04Apr SYD-LAX QF11 (Y+)
04Apr LAX-ATL on Delta (direct being the key here)
11 Apr ATL-YQM via EWR on Continental (couldn't find better than 1 stop, bit of time on the ground)
13 Apr YQM-YYZ WestJet
14Apr YYZ-LAX via MIA (AA here for some points. Direct flight lands too late @ 2115 given QF12 takes off at 2230)
14Apr LAX-SYD QF12 (Y+)
16Apr SYD-PER

Other info, I do have Priority Pass via the Platinum AMEX Charge Card. Starting the process re lounge access today to see where I might use it.

Do DL/CX/other fly direct ATL-SE Asia as it may be more effective to route PER-xx_-ATL and again similar ex-LAX via SE Asia on the way home.

Delta fly from Atlanta to Tokyo Narita.

Original PER-SYD-LAX-ATL-YQM-YYZ-MIA-LAX-SYD-PER = 26682 mi route
Via Tokyo ( PER-NRT-ATL-YQM-YYZ-MIA-LAX-NRT-PER ) = 27817 mi route

You might even want to consider a RTW fare or Circle Pacific fare, with that sort of flying.

Delta fly from Atlanta to Tokyo Narita.
Via Tokyo ( PER-NRT-ATL-YQM-YYZ-MIA-LAX-NRT-PER ) = 27817 mi route

Be aware that PER-NRT uses the QF 763.
