I had never heard of him, so I watched parts of a few of his videos. Waste of time. He seems quite impressed with his travel experience and knowledge, but IMO his knowledge is less than that of the average FTer.
Every airline on an RTW ticket knows the pricing details, -- that's how they figure out what share of the total ticket revenue each airline gets for each flight.
