RTW have a limit to the numer of sections, so you would never do what he says..

Star-rtw have no limits of flight segments, only limits of stop-overs ... and a stopover, for international tickets, like rtw-tickets, is defined as a stop of more than 23 hours 59 minutes or the next connecting flight (which could be as long as a week away - some rare routes are only flown once a week) ...

While the Star-rtw ticket I took last time, had a limit of 15 stopovers overall, my ticket showed over 30 segments ( some of those segments, like DEN-COS, I did fly 3 times)...

As I buy (and discuss the rules, and optimize them to my favour together with my local LH-people helping me to do so and laughing) all these rtw tickets from LH themselves in Zürich, I don't see why what we/I post here as tips about rtw-tickets should not be shared with all of you openly. LH knows very well about this, for over 3 years now already (and I share all this tips on this board openly also already for 3 years now!).
