Hey folks,
I'm planning a RTW for 2004. I am thinking a Biz class tkt - 3, maybe 4 continent. (NA, Eur, Asia and maybe SWP)

I've looked and looked -- have a few ques.

1) I notice a child fare is 75% of adult fare. I have an 11 yr old son that I am thinking of taking w/ me. Would he get full miles? He has an AA # like I do.

2) I notice on AA's site there are some bonus mile promo's - ie JAL 2X bonus miles on cert flts if in biz or F. Would I qualify for those on a RTW tkt?

3) What is best value of starting place? I will have to start from DFW. Right now CAI is the cheapest, but it costs $$ to get there. All things considered, would it be better to start in Europe ie, Sweeden since I can find a real cheap AA tkt - DFW- somewhere in Europe.

I'm open to ideas.

Thanks to one and all for the general pointers I've picked up along the way.

Happy 2004.

TANSTAAFL - but if you work it right, FF miles comes pretty close.
