Saint Maarten
Buenos Aires
Into London - Take trains through Europe and Depart Barcelona
Capetown
Auckland
Hawaii
Where would you go? Any must see world destinations? If some of the places above are not available, what would your second rung cities be. Any insight you may have is appreciated. Heck, if you are travel

I am not familiar with Sky Team RTWs to know if MH (Malaysian) can be included. If not, the only way to NZ is on KE (Korean) from ICN (Seoul). If MH is allowed that adds KUL as possible routing to/from NZ.

Your list is very difficult to achieve with Sky team
The SkyTeam
Air France, Aeromexico, Alitalia, Continental Airlines, Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM, Korean Air and Northwest Airlines
The World Journey
KLM, Jetair, Alaska Airlines, Copa, Continental Airlines, Emirates, Air Pacific, Kenya Airways, Malev, Malaysian Airlines, Air Vanuatu, North West Airlines, Polynesian, Air Caledonie, South African Airlines, Air Tahiti Nui, Air Lanka and Air Europa
This alliance is a much better option for your itinery and includes NW and CO if these are important to you.
One world and * Alliance are the regular favourites and any of these will be better than Sky team who are not set up for Australia/New Zealand destinations
