Hi everyone,
We are planning a trip to Canada & Alaska around September next year using frequent flyer points & would really appreciate some advice / tips & thoughts.
We will start (& finish!) in Perth & need to arrive into Vancouver & leave out of Anchorage (or vice-versa). Stops to get there & on the way back are not critical although if we need to stop it would be good to stop somewhere interesting (Tokyo comes to mind) while not going too far out of the way (to minimise points).
We would like to go business class all the way if possible.
To do this I assume the only way is with a one-world award?
If so, I presume you don't actually have to go around the world with a one world award?
Looking at the one-world conditions it appears as though we will be charged for the distance between Vancouver & Anchorage even if we make our own way in between - is this correct?
Any suggestions on itinerary would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary.
