• SYD-NLK and SYD-AYQ because these are normally insanely expensive if purchased on their own

My question to the OW gurus (since I'm a Star Alliance guy usually): what other "unusual" routes could I add to my next OW RTW? Looking for unusual flights, fun lines to add to the lifetime map, etc. I'll attach the map for reference...I'm already planning HEL-SEA for the line when it opens up so that's on the map in white...
