Well, sorry all for the delays. The MLE ticketing agents are incompetent re: RTW tickets. The one agent that could price things for me didn't get back to me for a few days so I called and found out she's now on vacation for 10 days. Nevermind I was trying to leave fairly recently!

So, I'll keep researching this RTW ticket, but it will be different than my original plans because now I am just going to by a direct ticket MLE-MNL and use reward miles to go MNL-GUM.

I'll worry about a RTW ticket later as it is just taking too much time and turning out to be too expensive from MLE or CMB on World Traveller (now that Skyteam is not possible from MLE or CMB).

I'll post what I do find out about pricing later.

A couple questions I had that perhaps people can help me answer here are regarding Continental Micronesia flights. Traditionally, the flights MNL-ROR-YAP-GUM and GUM-TKK-PNI-KSA-KWA-MAJ-HNL only have mileage counted as the direct flights MNL-GUM and GUM-HNL respectively. Does anyone know if this is the same for a RTW ticket? Normally I'd be complaining about losing miles but actually losing several hundred miles helps making certain thresholds.

Cheers all & ciao4now, Robert
