First off, I really have to thank the regular posters on this Forum. Without finding this invaluable resource I don't think I'd have a chance of seeing what's actually possible w/ the ONE ticket.

My girlfriend and I are planning on taking a year out to see a bit of the world next summer. We started off with a list of places we wanted to see but ran into problems trying to find a RTW ticket that could cover everything on that list. The mileage that we wanted to do seemed to rule just about everything out; apart from the One World ticket which we were pleasantly surprised by! I think the only thing we had to drop from our originl plan was Kathmandu (which we can fly to from BKK on a sidetrip if we are really that pushed).

Anyway, after spending some time on the web trying to come to terms with the rules and coverage of this ticket we have come up with the following itinerary:

========================
CAI-LHR-JFK <Nrth Am>
LGA-MCO *NA Seg1*
MIA-MEX *NA Seg2*
MEX-DFW *NA Seg3*
DFW-GIG <South Am>
GIG-SCL-LIM *SA Seg1+2*
EZE-SCL *SA Seg3*
SCL-AKL <SoutWestPacific>
CHC-SYD *SWP Seg1*
SYD-AYQ *SWP Seg2*
AYQ-CNS *SWP Seg3*
BNE-SIN <Asia>
SIN-BKK *Asia Seg1*
HKG-NRT *Asia Seg2*
NRT-LHR-BCN (Europe Stop1)
BCN-LHR (Europe Stop2)
LHR-CAI
=========================

DFW was only included to get down to RIO. If an alternative was avaliable (through either JFK/MIA) that might free up another segment.

Is there any great problem with doing something like this? Apart from the restriction of only being able to do 6 segments in the continent of origin, and a max of 2 stopovers, are there any other restrictions on what kind of segments you can do there?

I'd appreciate anyones thoughts on doing this.
Cheers
