I've been continually tweaking an itinerary, and have currently arrived at the following:

jfk-ist-ADD-DEL-BKK-SGN-TPE-ICN-KIX,NRT-jfk (stops are in CAPS).

Taxes+Fees are going to be on the expensive side (doing the math based on ita.matrix results in ~$850, and the Star Alliance RTW website roughly confirms that number), but I've managed to pack in basically every destination on our wishlist for this trip so I'm fine with it.

And the difficult part will be finding the last "NRT-JFK" flight and I'll have to snag it on the 1st day its available (and I have a few backup options), but most of the other flights have good availability.

What I am concerned about is the distance. GCMap has it at 21970miles, which is cutting it very close to the 22k limit and I know there are often slight differences between GCMap and ANA's mileage. Is there anyway to know for sure?

I also used the Star Alliance RTW tool, which I've heard often agrees to ANA exactly (https://roundtheworld.staralliance.c...-b489-960c61ac). It quotes a distance of 22208miles, however it seems that includes distance from KIX-NRT (I'm taking that as a ground segment, but the Star Alliance website tallies the same 22208 miles with that flight included and 22208 miles with that flight not included). KIX-NRT is roughly 306miles, so if I back it out then I would be just under at around 21900 miles. That's obviously pretty close though. Any way to know for sure so I know how many points to transfer in?
