It seems to me that there haven't been any RTW mileage runs for a while since the "Continents" event a good 5 months back. So, why not create one? I was reading another thread in this forum and Chiangi gave me a great idea. Surely many travellers have dreamed about getting that magical EXP status (or equivalent in another program) but it always seems so far away.

100,000 seems like a lot of flying, so why not take advantage of the strong US$ and GBP and achieve that status for a bargain price in about a week?

Looks like EXP can be achieved on AONEW5 ($4500) and AONEW6 ($5000). Maybe it can be even done in biz class. The fares for biz are $3500 and $4000 respectively.

Does anyone feel like becoming an EXP?
