If time permits, try flying ex-Europe. The fare is much cheaper than ex-U.K. the last time I looked.

For one, Forget DXB on the way out and save it to do LHR-DXB-LHR and another other Europe (e.g., HEL) trip for another day.</font>

Thanks Terenz - getting the ticket in France is a lot cheaper than the UK + I can then take an AY flight from CDG-HEL-LHR to start the miles. I'll save the LHR-DXB-LHR for after the RTW bit so it gets PLT bonus !!

Question still remains : is the take-off or landing that dictates which regional segment applies ? Is LHR-NRT a Eur or Asia segment ?

Thanks to all for helping me with understanding this
