Just got my e-ticket and credit card has been charged, so looks like I am all good now! Only took about an hour to properly ticketed.
Here is the itinerary (all in lowly economy):
- ADL > SYD (transit) on QF
- SYD > LAX on AA
- ONT > DFW (transit) on AA
- DFW > MEX
- Surface sector to SCL
- SCL > JFK on Latam
- JFK > FCO on AA
- FCO > DOH (transit) on Qatar
- DOH > KUL on Qatar
- KUL > ADL on MH
Total taxes = $1,218.26 per person (Qatar flight really inflated this).
Total trip duration is 8 months. Leaving in March.
Thanks to this thread I was able to even contemplate booking this award. Has been pretty complicated but should all be worth it soon!
