Bar JNB, I Travel this route back to back twice a year EX UK in D class. Are there any other countries in Europe with better fares than LHR?
Do you mean you travel this route twice a year?
London - Chennai - Singapore - Sydney - Los Angeles - New York - London
Currently, the cheapest place to start a DONE4 is Egypt
Base price is EGP40900 (approx GBP3870), compared to ex-UK GBP5988
Egypt is counted as part of the continent defined in the ticket rules as "Europe-Middle East". Note that you are allowed only two stopovers in your continent of origin (see the rules in the link I provided in my earlier post)
If you continually do the itinerary, then you somehow get yourself to Cairo the first time, and from then on you just keep ending one DONE4 there and immediately start the next DONE4
One more thing, if you can avoid ticketing with BA - it has hefty fuel surcharges. (and if you ticket with AA, it collects BA's fuel surcharges for any BA segments on the itinerary
)
