Nope, this is not a proper RTW. It fits within the rules because on outbound/inbound I don't transit in the same city, and it's within MPM. There is the PER open jaw since I couldn't get a good routing from SYD. DME is the only proper stopover I have on my itinerary.
Most of layovers are as close as possible to 24 hours.
The YQ alone is $1100 or so if I recall correctly. I am gambling to get LH F on YUL-MUC (YQ on that leg alone is $438.) and FRA-BKK, but otherwise I'm okay with paying YQ for true F on those carriers (damn AC though.)
