Hello!

As with many others, I have a question about *RTW tickets.

Is backtracking permitted?

In other words, is this a valid routing:

BKK-BGI-LAS-SEA-YYC-YVR-NRT-HNL-NRT-BKK

Here is how I thought of this:
- The BKK-BGI portion crosses the Atlantic via France, and the YVR-NRT covers Pacific.
- I think you are allowed a max of 5 stops in USA/Canada combined, so that's OK
- You are allowed three stops in Japan; I have two

The only problem I see is it says "maximum one stopover in each city". So does that
nail this ticket? Any possible work-arounds?

Also I was wondering about this routing:

BKK-BGI-LAS-SEA-YYC-YVR-NRT-HNL-NRT-Melbourne-NRT-BKK

I've just added Melbourne via NRT. Now I have three stops in Japan, my limit. But again, the three are all in one city.

Would both of these fit in a STAR1 ticket?


Thank you!
