After spending 3 weeks island hoping in the South Pacific, it was time to plan flights back to the U.S. After several days of researching possible cheap United MileagePlus partner redemptions, my friend and I finally found an awesome one.
TRIP DETAILS:
We were currently in AKL Aukland, New Zealand. However we found a cheap routing departing MEL Melbourne, Australia arriving in Washington DC.
To get to MEL - we flew:
Air New Zealand 777-200 Coach Class AKL Aukland, New Zealand - BNE Brisbane, Australia
Qantas 737 Coach Class BNE Brisbane - MEL Melbourne.
AWARD TICKET DETAILS:
THAI International 787 Dreamliner Business Class MEL Melbourne - BKK Bangkok, Thailand
THAI International A380 Business Class BKK Bangkok - NRT Narita, Japan
ANA 777-300 Business Class NRT Narita, Japan - IAD Washington DC
Continental needed a volunteer to be bumped to a later flight in exchange for a $300 voucher and an upgrade to first class . . . And that is how I ended up with Milano cookies and Grand Marnier on my flight from LAX to CLE.
one must travel in this ...these people are visibly proud of getting you on time and serving you...pampering is the word!
Entrée of Japanse course:
Steamed Fillet of Sea-bream Roll with Vegetable Mousse
Steamed Rice with Green Soybean
Japanese Clear Soup
Japanese Pickles
