In D, goal to maximize EQPs and see new places (so no strictly an MR, a combo of vacation-MR), including SWP, Asia, probably S.Africa, probably will include all 16 segments and all continents. Ideally, maximize EQPs and re-qualify for AA EXP for two consecutive years (or as close to that) in one RTW trip with about 6-8k USD total in airfare.

In general, is it significantly cheaper trying to squeeze as many segments in one RTW, or is it about the same if you do 2-3 separate RTWs? Because doing 2 separate smaller ones would seem more convenient in terms of scheduling and avoiding backtracking restrictions.

Also, what is a good cpp (cents per EQP) that someone can get out of these, has anyone calculated it?
