1. The ten day rule is just a minimum stay provision. Its role is partially to make it difficult to use RTW fares for business trips or MRs.
2. If your RTW includes Australia, be sure to check the maximum mileage rules carefully. Typically including SYD in a RTW incurs an additional fee for the extra distance flown.
