overland LAX-JFK
SQ: JFK-FRA
overland FRA-LHR
Can't do NRT, then BKK. As you're backtracking. NRT is east of BKK and SIN. You'd have to forgo NRT on this RTW. You can literally only do LHR-DEL (VS)-SIN-SYD(SQ)-AKL-NAN-RAR-PPT-LAX// JFK-LHR. You can't go JFK-FRA as you've exceeded your original starting point.

2) can the last leg be "overland" FRA-LHR?
No. See above.
