Hi,

I am planning a RTW trip out of Hong Kong, and have a few questions if the expert RTW travellers on this board could kindly help to answer:

1) I have done a fair amount of research online independently, and have a good idea of which countries I'd like to visit. However, I do not know any good travel agent in Hong Kong to help look through the itinerary (in case of any possible improvement in route etc.), and also to look into the possibility of the 2 additional sections per continent allowed under oneworld explorer rules (not available for online booking). Would anyone here know any good travel agent in HK? I spoke to someone at Flight Centre, but that person does not seem to know RTW rules etc. in much depth

2) Can you see any room for improvement for my draft itinerary below? This looks clear on oneworld's online booking tool. I plan to travel in business class, and am aware LAN's flights mostly do not have D:
HKG-NRT-SYD-DFW-ANC-DFW-LAX-MIA-MEX--UIO-LIM-SCL-BUE-LON-SIN-NRT-PEK
MEX-UIO is a surface sector, and SIN-NRT-PEK involves only transit in NRT

3) I am a CX frequent flyer, and wonder if MPC is the right programme for RTW miles accumulation? Are there any particular airlines that would not let MPC members accumulate miles?

4) And some specific aircraft / airline selection questions (understand each airline's forum would be a better place to ask, but just in case the experts here also know...)
- NRT-SYD: JAL 777 vs. Qantas 747?
- AA's domestic product seem to only have first or economy class. How would you rank the following aircraft's first class? Is there any difference, apart from MD-80 may the older aircrafts? 737-800, 757, 777, MD-80

Thanks a lot!
