MCI-LIS-DEL-SGN-NRT/HND-MCInow this one is a little wonky because i'm mixing up carriers and stuff, but all the stops are places i want to go
MCI-LIS 30k united miles + $9, 1 stop in YYZ, air canada / TAP portugal <--- any of the big 3 can get you to lisbon for 30k, but united has the best available schedule, and anyone reading the CC thread can easily scrape together 30k UR's to transfer
LIS-DEL 20k aa miles + $175, 1 stop in LHR, BA metal (787!) <---- i may just do business class on this one for 42.5k + $238
DEL-SGN $99, air asia x, 1 stop in KUL <---- this route was difficult to find with points, but if it's available for $99 this is definitely the best deal
@puniraptor i know NRT sucks, but does it suck enough to void the advantage of a nonstop and $80 price difference?
SGN-NRT 22.5k skymiles + $21, nonstop, vietnam airlines
*or*
SGN-HND 22.5k skymiles + $100, 1 stop in CAN, vietnam airlines
and finally
HND-MCI 35k skymiles + $44, 1 stop in MSP, delta
TOTAL
30k united miles
20k (or 42.5k) aa miles
57.5k skymiles
$348 (or $411)
