re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread
FWIW this is our intended itinerary (another OW J RTW) for early 2015 (intending to visit #1 son in JNB then do road trips in Canada and USA)
Hope it gives other ppl ideas like the many I have picked up on this forum.
MEL - SYD - JNB Stop-over (including CPT)
CPT - LHR -JFK Stop-over (side trip to Niagara Falls)
JFK - YVR Stopover (2 week road trip through Canadian Rockies, Montana, Seattle -> YVR)
YVR - DFW - MIA Stop-over including road trip to Florida Keys
MIA - LAX - LAS Stopover (road trip to Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce & Zion Nat. Parks -> LAS)
LAS - LAX - MEL
That should be about 13-14 segments, 54000km (32000mls) and 5 stops (like to get our money's worth from the RTW tickets)
