Wow. Welcome to Flyertalk! You're really opening yourself up to some interesting replies, by the way. I would start in the OneWorld Forum under Global Alliances. There are plenty of threads there about this topic, and they should at least help you set your expectations. Don't get confused by the *ONE* threads, though; those are paid tickets with completely, completely different rules and intentions. Other than that, I think you will need to provide a little more info as to what you are trying to accomplish. Are you just trying to circle the globe? Are you taking a year to explore the world? Are you hoping to try the best first class routes? Good luck!
