Learned a lot from the oneworld explorer guide as well as this forum. Getting my feet wet in the world of RTW tickets and made this itinerary on rtw.oneworld.com which came back as valid and priced at around $6500 per ticket as Global explorer fare. Would love to hear opinion/ suggestions from the seasoned travelers/experts here and thank you in advance.

Mods, please move this to the right forum if I am mistaken and apologize in advance.

OSL- HEL stopover on Finnair
HEL-YUL stopover on Finnair
YUL-DFW stopover on AA
DFW-GRU stopover on AA
GRU-DFW stopover on AA
DFW-TYO stopover on JAL
TYO-HKG stopover on Cathay
HKG-KUL stopover on MH
KUL-OSL on QR

Will be split into three trips, first will be Oslo, Helsinki, Toronto in April 2026. Second will be to South America in July or August- planning to visit Buenos Aires and possibly Asuncion and third will be to Japan, HKG, KL in October or November.

Any suggestions on itinerary, changes- tried to keep it Non stop as much as possible.

I am assuming if my initial travel date is set, I can do booking with dummy dates and change dates later as ticketing opens up without any penalty?

With above itinerary, can I book with AA?

Where best to allocate miles? Home airport is IAH and do fly QR in business once or twice a year. Do have AA FF account as well
