I will be in business not first, but just from what you suggested, it looks like a big saving.
Wow - SQ only RTW in F class : AUD$ 8452 - that is cheaper than RTW in business - but company policy states business unless it is a 2 class plane, then you can go in what they call First in the US domestic.
I would then get some Air NZ points from the West coast to MEL.
AH.. you didn't state that you were flying in Business and with your optimism in flying on the 77W on most of your longhauls on SQ.. I thought you knew...
...that any flight on a 77W aircraft on a RTW ticket would be charged a supplement of between US$300-500 per sector! But as you kept going on and on about it, I thought you were in First - as First Class RTW tickets do not have this surcharge!
