OK - after today's travails on my CircAsia ticket I am now loathe to try and book this - but I am going to. The overall trip is now:
syd-hkg-sin-lhr-dxb-lhr,lgw-bgi-jfk-dfw-lax-jfk-nrt-hkg-syd-per-adl-mel-syd
This is broken down into x trips:
syd-hkg-sin-lhr
lhr-dxb-lhr
lgw-bgi-jfk
jfk-dfw-lax-jfk-nrt-hkg-syd
syd-per-adl-mel-syd
I am not concerned about most of the trips except for jfk-dfw-lax-jfk-nrt-syd. Now I have left about 7 hours at JFK so if I have to recheck luggage I am pretty relaxed for time. Sleep will be an issue as I am on an M83 DFW-LAX - but with the amount of booze sloshing around in various lounges and flights I am sure I will sleep - or at worst read a book
Should I be concerned about luggage being checked through back to a point of origin (JFK)?
I have checked availability and I think its all good. I will phone QF to book it tomorrow as they were very good today and I dont mind being on hold for 1 -1/2 hours whilst they check and ticket this - as I can just get on with day-to-day work whilst it happens.
Am I crazy for attempting this?
It will generate 112K FF points :shock: and will take me to EXP comfortably and take me to 380K points (if I put all flights to AA between now and then - which I should but am tempted not to - that WP on QF is soooo tempting).
Sadly - EXP may only happen on my flights to/from DXB so no F lounge at LHR/DXB - but I will need AA to fax me some confirmation of status that week to get F lounge out of LHR.
Seriously though - am I crazy?
