Thanks for the heads up. Booked JFK-MXP next March with a one week layover to go skiing. Then MXP-DXB-SYD with a nine day layover to go out to a celebration in Vanuatu. Finally SYD-BKK. 155,000 JAL miles and $785 in fees. Only disappointment is MXP-DXB is on a 777 so only three showers on this trip as the rest are A380's. Booked it online and it was quite easy.
Its a shame that JFK > MXP is showing up as a 4K - 6K miles distance, (90K miles), when I thought it was a sweetspot: http://www.milecalc.com/mileage-calculator/JFK/MXP/ (listed at 3995 miles)
