I now have a RTW booked and paid for with all fights confirmed and seats assigned - until it no doubt unravels when I get schedule changes/cancellations and equipment changes over the next 9 months….or I change something!
Route is:
OSL>(LHR)>JFK>LAX>HND>SIN>(SYD)> HBA>(MEL)>AKL>(SYD)>HKG>(DOH)>CPT>(LHR)>DOH>OSL.
Transits in brackets. Had to make a few changes to Plan A due to availability (schedules and D class) but happy with what I have.
Cheers.
Don't know if that AKL-SYD-HKG was intentional for TPs or lack of availability on CX, but if the later just keep an eye on EF. CX doesn't seem to be too stingy on AKL-HKG with D from what I've seen and it's a better experience than QF in my opinion. I just did it the opposite direction a little over a week ago and like CX's A350 much better than QF's A330s or 787s. (plus crew is night and day different)
