52,500 Miles can take you a long way…

25/11/2011 by Kevincm

… even when doing a “miles only” redemption.  But where?

Well the taxes are loaded, and here is a little map to wet your appetite…

So I’ll let you all de-construct the routes and plans… as I prepare to plan the return journey home.

And before anyone asks. Economy Class. For this trip – I’ve heard of it… and FRA-HND. I’m sure it won’t take a genius to work out which aircraft I’m wanting to try out… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Your tag gives it away! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Oops ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I’m doing a burn now, and will have enough for another trip somewhere soon enough….

      Bottom line – I’m using my miles up ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I was just looking at those FRA-HND flights for February for an award to HKG or beyond, however I’m starting in zone 2.

      I think CPH is a good starting point if you want to try and make a Z2 start – least of all it will connect with that flight.

      I’m trying to shake off a bunch of miles – so I’m starting at FRA (and hoping over from BHX the day before). Availability seems very good on that route surprisingly…

    Is 52,500 one-way on the ANA 787, or return?

      Just one way. Comparing the mileage though, FRA-HND-HKG vs FRA-HKG is a fair olde diversion.

      FRA-HKG = 5699 miles
      FRA-HND-HKG = 7637 miles (+34% on direct mileage).

      I’m sorting out the way home, trying to extract a nice diversion. BKK or ICN is tempting right now….
