That should be doable, with some judicious apps (assuming bonuses continue). You already have enough Delta miles to get your two Europe biz tickets, and the US Air miles would take care of the single ticket.

For the RTW awards, I'm not sure what program is best. If you were to do it via United (*A), that's currently 350k per ticket. So for the sake of argument, 40k/year spending * 5 years = 200k miles. Some of that can probably be done through a rewards mall, so let's say...50k additional??? So 250k earned. You need another 450k for two RTW J tickets. A few credit card apps, some good purchase opportunities, and that seems possible. Especially if your wife is willing to apply for cards as well? Chase points can be transferred to others. Also, a biz class RTW would save 180k points and make it a lot easier. Plus, save some UR points for the hotels
