The reason I call it a round-the-world is because I have a friend who is doing it but he booked all of his tickets for cheaper than what he could find on any of the alliance's websites. His trip will take a month and will cover 4 continents.
Most FT'ers are billionaires? Now I kind of feel inadequate... No wonder no one wanted to eat breakfast with me in DFW.
Please do post his routing. Was this in First? All on OneWorld flights? Most one-way First flight are very expensinve, and definietly would cost much more then ~$10000.
What are you looking for during your week long round-the-world? Is this for business or pleasure? There are other RTW products that are cheaper, but use less airlines.
Something like:
DFW-LAX-SYD-SIN-DXB-LHR-IAD-DFW
would cost $7275 in First on Emirates and United. Without the SYD portion, it would be $6257 and you could then add the NRT portion and also BKK. You can also add more desintations, side trips from DXB, etc. Depends on what your looking for.
