I was thinking of an xONEx. I have a nephew who has often said one of his dreams is to do a RTW. He's saving up now for his gap year which is both endearing and impressive for an 11 year old. Hmm, but he's 12 very very soon.
A mileage run style xONEx (probably taken as 2-3 trips) at 75% extra cost (for the second ticket) may be worth if for "double" the miles and the fun of it. Something I'll ponder anyhow.
