$387 a-i for high summer for that OJ. Would have to get back from the European city somehow, maybe with a one-way award ticket or LCC flight or Icelandair or some other deal that can be done as a one-way, but if you combined that with the OJ you could get a "poor man's RTW" (an Asia stop and a Europe stop) maybe in the $600s.
Am having a bit less luck getting Africa into the picture, though ATL-KUL 1/20 and KUL-JNB 2/20 came in at $468. Can't seem to get SEZ to work.
Thanks for the OP. Middle East, Asia, and Africa for $468 isn't a bad price but getting home from JNB would be the issue. From Europe you can get to NYC for $140-160 on Norwegian. The only factor you have to consider with them is the no baggage allowance.
With being able to do an OJ to CDG or CAI for $360 it makes this a steal.
If one were to do PHL-DOH-KUL-DOH-CAI and then pick up the CAI-DOH-JFK-DOH-CAI for $325 that was around a few days ago would be an epic trip.
