There is also the convenience of starting our journey at our local airport (MAN). Can anyone give me an approximate difference for the following itinerary (DONE5) starting/finishing in either OSL or MAN?

(MAN or OSL)-DOH-NBO-DOH-PER-SYD-CHC-SYS-HKG-BOM-KUL-SIN-HND-LAX-JFK-DOH-(MAN or OSL)

Thanks...
Do you have Avios? You can use BA points to fly MAN-LHR-OSL for a modest cost. *A miles? MAN-OSL direct on SAS is available or runs about £80 in cash.

Radisson points? There are three airport hotels on site at OSL that are reasonable.

Out of pocket, you're probably looking at £250 to fly from MAN to OSL and stay at an airport hotel. If you take others suggestions and remove a leg or two, you can fly DOH-LHR-OSL and get off the plane at LHR and book your preferred trip home to MAN separately.
