Greetings. We have made five RTWs on Star Alliance and I know those rules inside-out, along with the major longhaul routes of the *A members, etc. I saw a comment today that made me wonder if, since we're in Finland, maybe a OneWorld RTW might be fun for a change, next time. I had a look through your FAQ here and got the general idea -- but of course I haven't the kind of easy familiarity with the details that I have with the *A system. So ... I'm going to ask!

Can I do something like HEL-(xxx)-YYZ-(yyy)-SYD-HBA-MEL-JNB <or> CPT-(zzz)-HEL with most sectors -- at least longhaul -- in A? Is such a routing possible without transitting either LHR (for the terminal nightmare) or the USA (for the terrorism hysteria)?

cheers,

Henry
