Not exactly related to a mini-RTW, but what are your experiences with Swiss business award availability (I) opening up close to travel? I have a few friends travelling on M fares, which are apparently eligible for Star Alliance upgrades, and I don't know if it's a lost cause at this point, or if they might open up more "I".
The flights are all within the next 8 days.
This would be an awesome use of Aeroplan miles
