DONE4 Question - MCO to FRA J Class Options?

[brumm5150]

Hi,

I'm in the process of doing a RTW DONE4 in June. I need 760 SC's by June 30 to reach QF Platinum and my QF Gold status re-assessment isn't until June, 2008
I need to be in MCO from June 7-14 for a conference and after that I want to visit FRA, GVA, HKG, BKK and CNS before returning to MEL by June 25. Having read a lot of the SC maximising questions and using the Mileage Monkey I can get at least 1000 SC's but I have a couple of questions:

MCO to FRA? - I have the option on AA of a 777 or a 763, which is better?

Or is BA a better option in J even thought its via LHR which I hear is not the best transfer airport.
Also, I'm confused about the SC earnings on the transatlantic flight, do I earn more on AA than on BA?

Thanks
Brumm

Doing a DONE4 and want SC's; Forget BA (at least while in NA) and use your 6 NA segment to fly F on 2 class domestic AA routes. (I did LAX-DFW-SEA-DFW-ANC-DFW-JFK for 780SC's.) I'm sure you could fit Orlando into a similar routing.

For more help about getting to Europe, I suggest to ask the knowledgeable oneworlders over on FlyerTalk.

Thanks serfty, have posted this over on FT also as suggested.

Not sure if its still relevent but the 777 would be better than the 763 i think. Unless you really like the 767's for some reason, neither is bad but the 777 is very likely to be newer.
