You are right about these Pandaperth:



Your post helped me to understood better what options i have to end this trip and also to make decision that for me it is better to round the world in west direction.

I cant get the oneworld tool working properly so I have only one more question left: Is this valid routing:

MPM-DOH-HEL-BCN-HEL-JFK-CUN-xMIA-POP-xMIA-LAX-NRT-KUL-DPS-HKG-xLHR-CPT

17 cities but 16 segments?

Thank you!
Yes, your routing is valid. The restriction is 16 segments and you are complying with that

Your current plan has your last Asian destination as HKG
Are you aware that CX flies HKG-MAD? You could do something like HKG-xMAD-DKR, which may have lesser charges than HKG-xLHR-CPT.

Also IB flies to PVG and NRT, which might give you routing options that are better for you
See this sticky thread - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...-services.html

IIRC in the Caribbean you are interested in beach locations, in which case my personal preference would be for BGI rather than POP - YMMV of course
