AJLondon:

Can you clarify something for me:

Are you doing this just to do an RTW, or did you actually want to see something in the Americas? I'm guessing your "No-US" transit thing is because of a visas issue, but I'm not sure if you really care about where you go or don't (Mexico? Canada? Brazil?). If you just want to go from Europe to Asia, why don't you go the other way (Eastbound) and save yourself the US transit hassle. With the right pricing structure, I'm sure it won't be much more expensive (intra-asia flights = cheap).

Otherwise, if you tell us where you'd actually like to go, we might be able to help. And, is the issue visas, or simply that the pax in question don't feel like going through the ignominious US-Visit schtick?
