Thanks vecta; I thought it was QF metal from Sydney to Port Moresby. I'll have to look into travelling ex-Cairns, but I think doing Port Moresby on this RTW ticket may be off as it will eat up both my Australia segments and my total segments. I'll either have to buy a separate return ticket or do it another time.

STAR ALLIANCE:
I've worked out that starting ex-South Africa or ex-Cairo makes a OW RTW in business class sort of affordable.

I now need to compare my OW options with Star Alliance options.

While I'm still on this thread, does anybody know any cheap trip starting locations for Star Alliance?
