Hi all,
Thought I'd come back and report on my FABULOUS trip... Oct 22-Nov 19
All in Y, and yes I know beneath many people here but I fully survived it and would easily do it again (because hey, I have enough miles left to do another RTW now... if only I could afford the time!). UA "not so comfortable", but bearable... the milk-run home was a bit of a pain. SQ was the massive 380 both flights, and both times "empty", had entire row to myself... first time flying SQ and wow nice airline (and airport!)!
YUL-EWR (UA)
EWR-FRA (UA)
FRA-SIN (SQ) stop
[SIN-BKK-SIN booked separately on own dime]
SIN-SYD (SQ) destination
[SYD-BNE-CNS-MEL-SYD booked separately on own dime]
SYD-AKL (NZ) stop
AKL-YVR (NZ)
YVR-DEN (UA)
DEN-ORD (UA)
ORD-YUL (UA)
80,000 + Taxes $310 + booking fee $30 + scamcharges $0 = $340.
Thanks again to those here who helped me figure out this mini-RTW thing!
