The problem will be the YQ.
Who wants to price something out and post the YQ damage?

Very subtle and not pointed out.
Also three years ago, I read your posts like holy gospel but was still a novice at redeeming miles.

85k Y, 125k J, 200k F, haven't priced out YQ yet or whether it would even be worth it to begin with, but that's what I just came up with this morning.

True, probably worth a bump.

When it says you can't backtrack, can you say fly NYC --> LON --> TLv -> NYC? Both the inbound and outbound cross the Atlantic so that is backtracking, but it's the end of the trip.
