Folks,

My RTW experience goes back to Pan American flights # 1 & 2. In 2005 I made 14 RTW trips. 10 with Oneworld and 4 with Star Alliance. However, they were all for business and I never considered adding extra segments, or in any way going for extra miles.

Now, I have partially retired, and want to retain EXP at least for another year, so I want to take my wife on a AONE4 to help that effort along.

I have knowledge of the basic rules, have read the "stickies", looked at the validater sites, etc., but know some of you folks have this stuff tweaked to the maximum.

So, I would like help to arrive at a suitable itinerary, for which I will offer an EVIP expiring 2/2007 to whoever presents such a valid itinerary with maximum miles.

Because my wife is going (no quick turn arounds!), I may not be able to maximize miles, but here are some guidelines:

Trip will happen about 12 June.
Need to be in SIN 26-30 June
I wish to stop over in DXB, HKG, SYD, AUK, PVG and SIN
Cairns? Darwin?
SIN or PVG hopefully as last stop before returning to USA
I realize PVG may require separate ticket from HKG or wherever
Departure from either MCO or TPA – no difference
Europe first
Make best use of first class by using flights with 1st
Use extra NA segments at end of trip, maybe much later
No troublesome spots
CX my favorite international airline

Either submit to my PM or here in the forum.
