Hi,

Just completed my RTW on *A three weeks ago (for a business trip), and loved it! YYZ-LAX-SIN-JNB-FRA-LHR-YYZ (which got me to Gold on *A)

I have just decided today that I would like to do a RTW on Oneworld (for pleasure this time!) in First class with AONE4. After reading through some of the threads in this forum, I have come up with the following itinerary below.

The objective of the trip is to both accumulate as much miles as possible and see some cities I won't have otherwise seen. I am AA Gold, and would like to make Platinum.

I would like to get your feedback if this itinerary works (or any other suggestions to improve the trip). Will fly out 2nd week of september and have given myself two weeks for the trip:

(3) ANC-DFW (AA)
(4) DFW-NYC (AA)
(5) NYC-SYD(QF)
(6) SYD-AUK (QF)
(7) AUK-MEL (QF)
