Are there any other catch in this ? Do I need to pay anything more. I looked through this thread and didn't get the details.

if I have to pay 20 K and get miles it is a great deal ...

Please provide me the details if any one knows more.
No catches
On top of the fare, you have to pay the various govt taxes, which depend on where you fly to. And you also have to pay any fuel surcharges (aka fuel fines) which depends on which airline tickets your itinerary and which airlines you fly.

The first post in this thread gives the basics of the ticket
The fare rules are available on the Oneworld web site - this is the link to them

I'm glad you think USD20,000 is pretty cheap. Personally, I think the approx USD8,300 the exact same ticket costs from The Sudan to be pretty cheap and USD20,000 to be pretty expensive - but not as expensive as the approx USD21,300 the exact same ticket costs down here in Australia!
