My wife and i are thinking of travelling for a year - to places we'd loved to see or places we don't even know about lol

We'd like to travel Biz-class or 1st if we could push the boat out.

So what ticket would be best for us ?

India - Dubai - China - Japan - Russia - US/CAN - Pacific islands - Aus/NZ - Africa


Next question with Biz-class or 1st can we use any lounge or just whatever airline is on our next leg of the trip ?


How far in advance do you have to book - do you have to book all your travel plans in advance or can you do it as you go along ?


I'm sure that will do for starters - thanks everyone !!
