Hello and welcome to FT, RTWfromFinland!

Don' be discouraged if the random poster snubs you off just because this is your first post&thread. It's like IRL, but chances are you meet fellow travellers in the OW forum with lots of experiences on:
1. Where to start an XONEX
2. How to build an XONEX
3. How to minimize fuel surcharges
4. How to maximize on miles and/or TPs

A long, but very valable thread here to browse

A very valuable help, IMHO, is the interactive world map cum RTW fare listings found here

Also check out single RTW/XONEX threads in the OW forum.

First things entering my mind, when I see your ticket plan are these:

1. Which FFP will you accrue miles to? (with TPs, I expect AY or BA?)

2. You only have 14 sements out 16 allowed.

3. Considering you need a positioning flight to commence outside your your own country, are you paying that flight with cash or miles? Use the fare instrument above and check for prices ex TLV or AMM

4. To maximize miles (and Tps), you could do more with Asia, and side trips BKK-SIN-BKK and SYD-MEL-SYD, saves segments for longer journeys for more miles...

One example could be: BUD-XLHR-LAX-MIA-ORD-JFK-HKG-NRT-BKK-BOM-XHKG-AKL-SYD-LHR-MCT-XLHR-BUD (16 segments = max)

By doing immediate transit in LHR first and third time, you can use the second as a stay in London/UK, and even pop by your friends in Finland . For HKG it’s a matter of taste which of the two to place as a transit or stay.

Once bitten by the RTW bug, you’ll expose yourself to more bites…
