my airfare in J is comparable to a 3continent RTW, so i'm trying to see if i can persuade my company to get that instead.
as i understand it, not including any MR, the very minimum routing i'd need would be:
ord-nrt-hkg-sin-hkg-nrt-hkg-lhr-ord
i'm not sure if this will work as there will be 5 segments in asia, or would nrt-hkg-lhr not count towards that 4segments since i'm enroute to LHR?
If you choose a Global Explorer RTW ticket instead of the Oneworld Explorer you would be able to use JAL also making the trip from NRT-SIN and back easier.
You could also buy a Circle Pacific ticket and return through Australia instead of Europe.
