Hello all,

Mr kkv and I are about to book our rtw trip with Trailfinders this week. After weeks of discussion our final (we hope) itinerary is as follows;

LHR - MIA - BDA - JFK - YVR - DFW - LAX - HNL - SYD - AKL - MEL - BNE - PER - NRT - HKG - SIN - LHR

We are planning to travel for around 6 months from next August.

I have been reading the boards for weeks now, so I am trying to pick up as much info as possible, but I wonder if anyone can see any problems with the above route? The Oneworld planner/booking tool seems happy with it!

Any other comments/hints would be very welcome, e.g best carrier to use for certain legs.

Finally, as we both no longer fly on business we have no current membership of any frequent flyer programme, so any suggestions on which one to join? We will mainly be taking city breaks and single destination holidays after this trip if that is relevant, and are UK based.

Hope someone can help, and thanks for reading.

Karen
