fantastic thread. i'm planning on doing a rtw w/my girlfriend next summer to celebrate getting our ph.d....

1) Can someone post examples of a *ONE* iteneraries w/prices that will give people an idea of how one can get near-maximum status miles & prices. Obviously not for all combinations of *ONE* but simply to give good ballpark (e.g., best ONE3 itenerary?) I don't really have a sense of whether i should expect to get 20k 30k or 60k miles from a trip.
2) It would be add a comment in the basics that the trip can be broken up over a years time, so one could qualify & re-qualify for a status level with juse one rtw ticket.
