I've currently worked out 2 itineraries. the first one will have to be DONE4 but because I am a bit tight with my dosh I was wondering if a DONE3 will achieve the same thing. I don't want to go to Europe..........this time, if I can help it.

Can I get you to take a look and let me now if I've broken any rules?

Also can someone let me know if I will get QF status credits on QF flight no's even though it is a codeshare and not on a QF plane?

Lastly, has anyone got ideas on costs and airlines on flights YYZ-HAV return?

* denotes stopover.

Option 1 - DONE4
1: BKK-LHR: intercontinental
2: LHR-YVR: intercontinental *
3: YVR-YYZ: 1st of 1 (North America Transcon)
*3: YVR-YYZ: 1st of 6 (North America) *
4: YYZ-ORD: 2nd of 6 (North America)
5: ORD-LAX: 3rd of 6 (North America) *
6: LAX-MEL: intercontinental *
7: MEL-BME: 1st of 4 (Southwest Pacific) *
8: BME-PER: 2nd of 4 (Southwest Pacific) *
9: PER-DRW: 3rd of 4 (Southwest Pacific) *
10: DRW-MEL: 4th of 4 (Southwest Pacific) *
11: MEL-HKG: intercontinental
12: HKG-PEK: 1st of 4 (Asia) *
13: PEK-HKG: 2nd of 4 (Asia) *
14: HKG-BKK: 3rd of 4 (Asia)

Option 2 - DONE3 (No via LHR malarky)
1. BKK-HKG - AA codeshare operated by CX
2. HKG-YVR * - AA codeshare operated by CX
3. YVR-LAX - QF codeshare operated by ALASKA
4. LAX-YYZ * - QF codeshare operated by American
5. YYZ-ORD - QF codeshare operated by American
6. ORD-LAX * - QF codeshare operated by American
7.LAX-MEL * - QF
8. MEL-BME * - QF
9. BME-PER - QF
10. PER-DRW * - QF
11.DRW-MEL * - QF
12. MEL-HKG* - QF
13. HKG-BKK - AA codeshare operated by Cathay
* means stopover
First, you can't use any flights operated by Alaska for a OWE.
Second, your second itinerary isn't a rtw as you don't cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and don't have flights in TC1, TC2, and TC3. You should look at a circle pacific fare if that itinerary is what you want to do. Any rtw that includes the SWP is required by the rules to be an XONE4.
