I guess it's a DONE5 (?)
The plan is to make the most of the ticket (obviously
), and preferably fly with the best possible fleet. We'd like to alternate between visiting cities and beaches/relaxing.
Here is the itinerary as it looks now.
CAI-DOH-MEL-AKL-KUL-CMB-HKG-LAX-GRU-SCL-IPC-SCL-MIA-SKB-JFK-LHR-CAI
We will probably buy some separate tickets (+CPH-CAI-CPH of course) in Australia, Asia and maybe South America, so we get to see as much as possible.
All comments/questions are welcome!
Once again, thank you for your help!^
Yes, it's a xONE5 (and a
DONE5 if it's Business Class)
As has been pointed out, it's OK to visit South West Pacific before Asia
and that your visit to LAX must be no longer than 24hrs so as to allow the second visit to Nth America (after Sth America)
Generally the rules require you to finish in the same country as you started. But there is an exception for the Middle East. So starting in CAI, you can finish anywhere in the Middle East (MCT is the farthest from LHR if maximising frequent flyer miles is of interest
).
If you are interested in maximising miles then let us know and we can suggest tweaks for you (starting with
Kiwi Flyer's suggestion)
Your nice big backtrack from
DOH to CMB via MEL-AKL-KUL was a very good start
Though
CAI-LHR-MEL-AKL-KUL-CMB is even better
