Perth - Dubai - Paris - USA - Perth

[gt4me2]

My first concern.. I really hope my other half doesn't see this thread. She has no idea where
I'm taking her

Dates are 25th June to end of July.

We have completed quite a few USA/Canada trips but would love to return there for at least
10 or so more days (Orlando pure happiness and joy)

departing perth through to dubai through to either paris/London (then hopefully get into Greece to
see Mykonos etc) here's the minor issue(s) .. From there through to the USA east Coast or west coastIs find as I love Los Angeles and Boston/Chicago/new york and then travel back to Perth.

- i am happy to purchase miles / join programs etc
- I am flexible for suggestions
- would love to make this as comfortable and enjoyable for the other half as possible
- would love to learn as much as possible in regards to the extensive knowledge you guys have; I'm all ears.


Kindest Regards

Looking at and booking EK fares to the USA I chose to fly into and out of LAX as it is the same price with a ton more miles as a flex fare.

As well the domestic flights in the USA cheaper as a return than doing one way.

Even landing in JFK and doing a return domestic flights back to JFK would be better that two different entry and exit ports.

But..........do a return flight to LAX from where? You need to include Paris and London on the itinerary.

I was referring to your suggestion to land at JFK and fly out of LAX, hence one way flying in the USA domestically.

To get to both London and Paris the OP could under the EK option simply have an extended stop in DXB and book flights on another PNR to add them on and back to DXB to continue their itinerary.

How they book that is up to them, but I personally would be looking at hidden city routing to get the best price with the greatest status credit haul - but then that is me and guess they might prefer a more direct route.

Sounds good, can you price it?
