re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread
Hopefully the points for your new CC come through before you need to book your flights.
16 segments but only 5 stopovers, Becky.
There is no 16 segment rule for the oneworld distance based award. That applies to a xONEx, a revenue fare. ie. not what this thread is about.
