I have been a Flyertalk reader for some time, however this is my first post.

I am seeking to book my first RTW ticket using Oneworld where possible as I am BA Gold and my companion Silver and would very much appreciate any advice on starting point, ticketing and pricing.

My intended route is:

LON-TOKYO-SYD-ZQN//CHC-AKL-PPT-BOB-PPT-IPC-SCL-AEP-SLA-EZE-LON

Of that, BA have quoted me £5225 for all excluding SYD-ZQN//CHC-AKL-PPT which aren't oneworld & SLA-EZE which they dont have availability in appropriate class for; these would would add c. £1k on top. I have flexibility within Europe with regards start/end points.

I have read most of the thread and garnered a huge amount of useful info, but would nevertheless appreciate advice from those who know far more than I as to whether this sort of price is what I should be expecting to pay or whether I can improve on it.

Thank you.
