LONE5 Itenerary: Thoughts, suggestions?
ex-MRU
MRU-JNB-VFA-(x)JNB-LHR-DOH,CAI-MAD-(x)SCL-IPC-SCL-AKL-SYD-CNS-NRT-HKG-PEK,DEL-HKG-JNB-MRU
It checks as valid on Mileage Monkey and on OneWorld's desktop tool. It has 20 sectors (which as far as I can tell is used interchangeably with segments by them) and 51,000 miles. Obviously, I can't go everywhere on one trip anyway, but maybe someone has a better idea for what I'm trying to do? I want to start from MRU to save money (although maybe it's not worth it since I'm flying economy? I live in USA by the way). I'd like to go to Easter Island, Qatar, Thailand, Beijing, Hong Kong, Toyko, Singapore, New Zealand, Cairns, Sydney and of course Eurorail once I get somewhere in Europe. (I'm still young enough to get youth pricing! yeahh)
Victoria Falls, Cairo, are not essential but they seem to fit well. Johannesburg and London and Santiago seem to be unavoidable. I ran out of segments so I decided I can provide my own travel arrangements from Beijing to the other parts of Asia that didn't fit in the RTW. Perhaps I can land travel down through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand all the may down to Malaysia and Singapore, then fly from either Singapore or BKK to Delhi and see the Taj Mahal where I pick back up on the RTW. Does that sound feasible? I read somewhere that Beijing to Hanoi and Bankgok to Singapore are popular areas for surface travel.
This is my first international trip (yikes) and the number of both options and restrictions are overwhelming! First I had to prioritize where I wanted to go and second I had to figure out how to get there. I ran into so many speed bumps with the itenerary though that I wonder if I should look more closely at the *A 39k. Please don't scold me for at least wondering about it!
Please let me know what you think of my proposed itenerary and whether or not what I'm trying to do is better suited with *A! Thanks!
