I'm finalising my first ONE ticket, having really wanted to do this for quite a while. It finally it looks like it'll happen as I'm getting married in November and working the honeymoon (SAM and SWP) into the arrangements

Unfortunately I'm not able to do the maximum number of segments. My wife-to-be doesn't appreciate the mileage run concept, especially for our honeymoon, and time is at a premium. Fair enough, I guess

That said, we're splitting the trip into three, so there's more flexibility on the Asia section.

I've chosen ex-ARN as the AONE4 fares seem pretty good from there at the moment. Please let me know if you have alternative recommendations - we're based close to LHR. What's the current best way to book ex-ARN ONE tickets?

Any comments on the itinerary would be much appreciated. We'd like to maximise first class travel and BAEC miles/points within reason.

Here's the plan:

Nov/Dec 06
ARN-LHR
LHR-GRU
(see note 1)
PUQ-SCL
SCL-AKL
AKL-SYD
SYD-CNS
CNS-MEL
MEL-SYD
SYD-HKG
(see note 2)

Jul/Aug 07
HKG-PEK
PEK-HKG
HKG-NRT
NRT-LHR

Oct 07
LHR-MCT
MCT-LHR
LHR-ARN

Notes
1. Three week South America trip. Separate tickets
2. Breaking RTW trip by flying HKG-LHR...LHR-BKK-HKG, probably with GF, who have cheap first class fares on this route.

Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom
