Sadly, there is now an error message on the website link with the RTW prices and a note saying there is no ETA on fixing the site and problems with the underlying data

I am based on the West Coast of the US but am wanting to book a business class RTW for a trip of a lifetime.

Given the link is no longer active, I was hoping someone on here might know off hand:

1. Whether Japan is the cheapest country to originate such a ticket in Asia, or if there are other better or comparable options in Asia? ...It seems as if Japan is mentioned most frequently on flyertalk, followed by Korea. I will just pay for a flight or use miles to get from the West Coast to this starting point.

2. What the approximate price is for a DONE5 fare originating in Japan? Out of interest, I would be curious if you knew how this compares to the LONE5.

3. Would I be better off financially getting a 39,000 mile business *A ticket instead?

My sense is no because of my routing but if there is a significant price difference I would consider *A but again there dont seem to be prices on the *A forum without access to this link>Other prices are many years out of date. My (rough) itinerary would be SFO to NRT (assuming this is the cheapest place in Asia to start) followed by:

NRT-BKK-AKL-Buenos Aires-SFO-Paris-HKG-NRT

I will probably throw a few side trips in the Americas in as well. The desire to go from AKL to South America is pushing me towards OW where they have such a routing on LAN but if it made a big price difference I would certainly go AKL-SFO-Buenos Aires instead (using Air NZ).

Many thanks for the advice!!
