Hi all

I would very much appreciate if someone can review the following RTW routing (ex CAI of course!!) and confirm it fits withing the rules:

CAI-LHR (stopover)
LHR-LAX
LAX-LAS rtn (stopover in LAS)
LAX-SYD
SYD-MEL rtn (stopover in MEL)
SYD-HKG
HKG-NRT
NRT-LHR (stopover)
LHR-CAI

Can I add a separate round-trip from LHR to BUD? In this case I would fly straight through CAI-LHR-BUD and stop in London on the return from BUD before the LAX leg.

I guess there would be no worries if instead of flying LHR-LAX I could go trans-US in hops eg:

LHR-JFK
JFK-DFW
DFW-LAX
LAX-LAS rtn
LAX-SYD etc

Reading the rules - I take it I cannot fly CAI-LAX-HKG-MEL-HKG-LHR-CAI? (Ie because I would be backtracking between the continents of Asia and Australia?)

Many thanks, in advance, for your comments.

Regards

WG
