Or are we just talking tickets that happen to cross both oceans? In which case I fail to understand what the question is. It is just a ticket.
Paid *A RTW tickets are special paid tickets with a large number of stopovers (up to 15), simple routing rules, very flexible change rules, ....

The is no equivalent award ticket. 2 ocean award tickets are sometimes mistakenly called RTW, which they are not in the *A sense.
