FYI......Here is one piece of information that I got while I was planning my RTW. If you depart from Africa (except Harare and JNB) you can enter and exit Europe twice. For example - Nairobi(NBO) - LHR - ASIA - NA - LHR - NBO. AA said that you could only depart out of certain countries in Africa (7 I think) though. Definitely not all the countries that BA flies to on that continent. Has anyone ever heard of that before?

The reason for the above rule is that Harare and JNB have flights to Asia and AUS directly. The other countries have only flights to LON.

Have fun Darren. You should be able to meet a lot of FT'ers on the way. I'm jealous. I wish I had that much time to spend away!
