Ricky fantastic, I’m getting ready to retire! I live Yyt! So I’m going to fly air miles to Boston because of the cheap taxes. Bos-fco-Venice-Zurich-Bos then home! 60,000 Aeroplan miles and very few tax grabs! Thanks for all your info! Happy Flying!????
Great post! I just returned from my mini round the world in business class with aeroplan YYZ – TPE-PNH-BKK-IST-ATH-ZRH-YYZ
Thanks for the play-by-play and update. I did not know about the Island hopper and ever since you mentioned it a few months ago I have had it on my bucket list to do as well. I just hope I have a bit better luck and am able to land on all the islands.
My wife and kids would kill me if I dragged them through this (not to mention the outbound part, even if it’s in Business/First class)
Good job Ricky!! taking one for the team and having fun for all of us!
When the time comes, I fully expect to convince my kids that this is normal!
Always a pleasure Jerry 😉
"I’m happy to say that my resolve to explore the world – by squeezing every drop of value out of the opportunities we have with Miles & Points – has never been stronger. " Zhang, Ricky, 2019 .
That’s a saying!!
Thanks for sharing your trip! I don’t think I can do these RTWs.
Lucky you only got a lecture. Another Chinese got a few years for taking military site photos. Granted, he entered a restricted area, areas was more sensitive, etc, etc
