Thanks for the quick answers. Sorry, I don't have many Amex miles and no SPG account. We have lots of AA and LH miles, but no help with this. The F class RTW fare on Star Alliance is USD $42,000 for two people, yet Suites cannot be booked. In contrast, the fare is USD $30,000 on Oneworld and all CX, QF and BA F seats are available. I suppose we will need to wait and try the new JAL suite and whatever else Oneworld carriers plan to offer in competition to SQ suites.
