We really hate long flights!!!

In order to survive getting to and from So. Africa we've decided to use the "One World Award". It cost 150,000 miles p.p. for Business Class but it allows you lots of stopovers etc. We have it planned to go LAX to JFK on AA (spend a few days with family), JFK to Cape Town via London on BA, then returning we're going Johannesburg to Zurich to stay with friends for several days, then Zurich to JFK (this time stay in Midtown for a few days), then back to LAX. We're stretching ROAR into a 27 day trip.

The "kicker" for qualifying for this One World Award is you must use 3 different airlines that are all members of One World. This was very easy for our itinerary. Ironically, AA said that just going to and from South Africa in Business Class would have still been the same 150,000 f.f. miles!

Say bye bye to our AA f.f. miles!!
