I'm lost

I am planning a RTW trip for june, make some miles and see the world, I havn't done any planning yet but want to try and visit as many cities as I can without using hotel stays etc (I want to use the difference in price to do first class). I have read most of the posts but can't find answers to a few questions:

What is the 10 day rule? Does this mean I have to to the RTW in a minimum of 10 days? I plan on starting in AMS or LHR, can I end my trip in LHR and buy a seperate ticket LHR-AMS making the final segment (on the RTW) at a later stage?

What tools can you use? Will the online timetable at BA be of any help?

Are there sites with examples or should I just use the examples here on the board as a starter?

Am I forgetting anything? Has anyone experience in a fly-only trip like this? (besides almost killing yourself doing it?)

Does BA have a RTW dedicated desk or am I stuck with a travel agent?

If the questions I ask are to be found in previous posts please accept my apologies, but then please do let me know the link

Thanks in advance!

Scott
