We are in the same rocky but exciting boat! First-time OW Classic Awards RTW in J class booking attempt for two - what a challenge! The goal isto be in London for two weeks in September 2017, in Europe for the rest of September and most of October 2017, and in India during November 2017 - the planned itinerary is:
CBR-SYD-SCL-EZE stopover
EZE-GRU-MAD-LHR stopover
LHR-TXL stopover (or maybe something else as 5th stopover)
1st surface
ATH-DOH-DEL stopover
2nd surface
MMA-HKG stopover
HKG-MEL-CBR
And, already, we have some unexpected questions we hope to find answers for here:
1) QF27 SYD-SCL so far has no SEP 2017 business award seats at 10am - is this QFF status related (we are only bronze) or are there none (just now or never)?
2) CX and LA are not listed on EF - anywhere else one can find this sort of flights and awards availability information?
3) As we plan (at this point in time, and if it turns out doable) to do as RTW - is SYD-HKG(or similar in Asia)-LAX(or similar in North America) considered East or West bound (we are going East-ward)?
Thanks, Joseph
