Regardless of whether or not you use CX to ticket, their trip planner is invaluable. You'll find it on their website. It has the schedules for all OW partners and makes planning your RTW a snap!

The CX planner does some strange things for some segments. Ask for flights from MEL to DFW and it gives 2 routing options - via LHR/LGW or via NRT, when I would have thought the logical route was direct to LAX then DFW.
Our corp travel agent (AmEx) always books my RTW tickets. They do it online while I'm on the phone, email me the full itinerary within the hour and isuse the tickets (always printed) at the arranged time (always leave it to the last minute in case of changes) so as to arrive on my desk the day before I leave.
