It’s a special trip (retirement or partial anyway) in Business and we intend it to be a bit of a TP run as well to retain our Gold BAEC status.

It will be about a month give or take few days.

It appears starting in Oslo will give best value so outline routing (after playing on the tool) is:

OSL>LAX>NYC(JFK/EWR)>HNL(via LAX or other)>HND/NRT>SIN>HOB>AKL/WLG>JNB>OSL(via DOH?)

Hopefully that will maximise the TPs.

1. What do you recommend the best way to book this is?

2. Do BA holidays have access to these fares so potentially I could book it as a holiday package?

3. When is the optimum time to book it, I guess 11 months out?

4. Anything else a newbie might wish to know?

TIA.
G'Day AlanT

and congratulations on reaching retirement, and for planning a RTW to celebrate!. I retired 8 years ago and also celebrated with a RTW (ex-CPT) . I am now on my 5th post-retirement RTW, so I warn you - they are addictive.

To address your 4th question - I suggest you read the wiki to the User Guide
Feel free to keep asking us questions, we're a friendly bunch

Happy planning!

ps I would write more now, but I'm off to a pub here in Cyprus - to watch the Man U vs Everton Game. "Come on you blues!!"
