(And to
Kiwi Flyer) it'll probably be not until at least April or May 2007.

If you change the order to Europe-SWP-Asia-North America, you can add lots of miles as you will be able to add 2 more intercontential flights by transiting thru Asia on the way to SWP.
(GIB or WAW)-LHR-SYD-AKL-SYD-PER-HKG-SIN-HKG-NRT-LAX-BOS-DFW-SEA-DFW/ORD-SFO-LHR-DXB-LHR-(GIB or WAW).
Now that's more like it
^ thanks a lot. I've read the rules and FAQs but I still get confused about the transit rules and thought I
had to do Asia before SWP. Great to hear I don't
Despite explicitly mentioning LAS I can probably live without it, 'cos I won't be able to afford to do any gambling anyway! And I can always head there on a separate trip paid for with miles after the RTW finishes.
