Hi all,
It's holiday planning time again! Unfortunately, xONE4 European sector limits and non-direct flights (even between the most major of cities) is causing us some hassles.
I'm wondering if the brains trust might have any ideas for making my itinerary work? I'm not averse to using QFF points for some flights (we have about 190k at the moment combined), but want to make the most of the LONE4. Taxes are a bit of a killer on the award flights within Europe sadly (unlike in the US!)
Departing very early Sept (or late Aug)...the plan is:
SYD-SIN-LHR/DUB-BCN-FCO-ATH-FRA-JKF-MIA-LAS-LAX-SYD
Plan is to drive from LHR to DUB (therefore surface sector), and then use QFF points for one of the other flights (BCN-FCO via MAD seems the best option). Unfortunately we then come unstuck with the FCO-ATH flight - there are no direct OneWorld flights (only option seems to be Malev via BUD, leaving us with one too many flights). Haven't even looked at ATH-FRA yet.
Any ideas for how we might be able to work this? As I said - we're not averse to spending some QFF points, or paying for additional flights, but we'd like to make the most of the LONE4. We're also not too fussed on the order of DUB, BCN, FCO or ATH...but FRA will have to be the last stop as we're planning on visiting Oktoberfest again, which starts on September 18.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
