We finally booked our first RTW yesterday (CX were vey late in releasing their timetable for a couple of routes), a big thank you for all the help from the forum in planning the trip, much appreciated.

I used a travel agent this time as this is actually a big holiday with my wife and I had a lot of other travel arrangements to make (and was on a learning curve with RTW), but I will likely do another RTW and book directly going forward. Below is what we finally booked and the cost for the DONE5 was £6280 per person. Would we have saved much doing it ourselves?

I should add that I was fortunate to have worked with a very good travel agent who was prepared to read/understand the rules, I have found that some agents and airlines just do not understand the rules and will not consider a route such as this.

OSL-DOH-NBO-DOH-PER-SYD-CHC-SYD-KUL-BOM-HKG-JFK-DOH-MAN-DOH-OSL
15 segments with one surface segment (in bold) and stopovers in red.
This equates to 1800 TPs and 51,295 miles. We have registered our BA exec numbers, will all our TPs and Avios automatically credit?

For future reference, what is the correct way (notation) of expressing a RTW trip to indicate surface segments, stopovers and transfers?

EDIT - we used the AA code for JFK-DOH as I will be GGL by the time we start the trip and this should give us access to the Chelsea Lounge.
