Friends and Family,
Welcome to Fate and Mohit's World Trip / Honeymoon blog! You've been invited to view it since you have shown interest to see pictures from our trip (if you were faking it, sorry for the spam, feel free to exit this window).
The first few posts will likely be the wordiest ones. Just to set the stage, in case anyone cares. Most likely you're just going to scroll through the pics when you're on the can (yes, this is Mohit's sense of humor, so..... get used to it)
Where did this come from???
Well, as two travelling consultants, we've been hoarding Delta Skymiles, SPG Points, and Marriott Points since August 2011. Funnily enough, it was our roommate Rahul who told us the news in Fall 2014 that Delta was going to end its "Round the World" program. Knowing we were planning a wedding, quitting our jobs in mid 2015, and heading to business school in Fall 2015, we jumped on the opportunity to cash in these points!Delta World Trip Ticket Rules
For non-consultant readers, here's what Delta offered up until December 31, 2014:- 180,000 SkyMiles = 1 Economy Class ticket
- 280,000 SkyMiles = 1 Business Class ticket
- Each ticket allows 6 stops (stops are defines as >24 hours between flights) and up to 16 segments
- Must fly in a single direction, East to West or West to East
- Stops don't have to be continuous (eg. I can land in Thailand and take my next Delta flight from Singapore) but non-continuous stops cost an extra segment
The next post will contain the itinerary!
