I created a slide show for my LAX Frequent Traveler University presentation that I promised I would share with those who attended.
My presentation was called “Three Vacations on Two Awards: Free Oneways.”
The only difference between the presentation and the show below is that I deleted the videos in the original presentation, which had no audio, and replaced them with videos with audio.
I’ve uploaded the presentation online RIGHT HERE. I am going to delete it from the site on Friday the 14th, so grab it now if you want it.
Perhaps oddly, I don’t necessarily recommend checking out the slides. All the information either has been released on the site or will be released in the next few weeks. When I put it into posts, I can explain everything fully. In the slides, I’ve only put a complement to what I was saying in the room, so it’s not necessarily the complete picture.
But you know your learning style better than I do, soif you want to check out the slide show, here it is:

Love it!
I wish you could have talked for 2-3 hours or more…
I had about 70 minutes. I wish I had had about 120. Then maybe time for one or two more presentations.
Great work, I look forward to you posting on how to exploit AA’s distance based award chart.

Quick question from the naive – do oneworld Explorer Awards need to be round-trip, or can they be a number of segments A-B-C-D-E, etc.?
I’m not saying this would be free zone-based one-additional-leg travel, but it would allow some creative exploring on the way back from wherever the free one-way “strands” you.

This is awesome. Thanks MV
Related question… do you know anything about redeeming Hawaiian airlines miles for Virgin Australia flights from LAX-Melbourne? Hoping to pay for one way and redeem reward for the trip back, but their partner award chart only shows round trip redemptions.
