Round-the-World Example with Half in Flat Bed for 100,000 Miles
April 11, 2016
You can book yourself a tour around Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia stopping in four places for only 100,000 miles total with nearly half the trip in a flat bed. By stopping in four places, I am referring to actual destinations, not connections that have to be under 24 hours.
Much like the Mega Trip to the Caribbean and South America I wrote about a few days ago, this deal relies on piecing together some sweet spot awards (and this time also a low cost carrier flight within Europe) into one big trip.

That Time There Was a 1% Chance I’d Be Flying the Etihad Residence
January 27, 2016
I am in the air flying the Etihad First Class Apartment on its A380 from Abu Dhabi to New York.
This is one of the best flights of my life, but "First Class" is a misnomer, since Etihad offers a three room "Residence" on the same flight, making my accommodation technically second class.
For a day, there was a 1% chance in my mind I'd be flying the Residence.
About two days before my flights, I finally sent a direct message on Twitter to American Airlines asking for my Etihad confirmation number, so I could select seats
