Booked a Mini-RTW last night, avoiding YQ airlines, quite simple segments relatively

Summer 2012
YYZ-IST TK J on new 777
* 8 hours layover in IST unfortunately, but they have new nice lounge
IST-ICN TK J on A340
ICN-TPE TG J on 777

Return
TPE-NRT NH J 767
NRT-ORD UA J on 747 new seat
ORD-YYZ AC J on Embraer

75000 miles and $221 in tax/fees only. Whew~

If I chose AC for Trans-Pacific segment, it'd jump to $370 in tax/fees
