LHR->SYD (BA) (stop in SIN)
SYD->NRT (CX)
NRT->DFW
and it came out to be $25,557.
How do folks afford to go on such flights? That's a cheap car, a few years of college, or a nice down payment on a boat.
$25,557 is actually a pretty good deal. Most FT'ers are billionaires, after all.
You cannot price out a RTW on aa.com. The price it gave you was as if you were buying each leg seperatly.
A F RTW on OneWorld, ex-USA, costs $9600, $10400, $11300, or $13200 for 3,4,5, and 6 continents respectively.
