Exactly. I like to use the miles earned flying the previous year's RTW to obtain a first class award for the positioning flights
Right now my partner and I are planning an ex-HKG DCIR22 for 2013. I managed to snag CX F award seats to get there, will worry about the return when it opens up 330 days out.

That's a great option (and a weekend in Canada can be lots of fun, personally I'm fond of Vancouver).
