LOL - so true.

A word of warning to the OP... As you are new to this, it would be best to read the info at oneworld.com, and you will be doing a lot of reading, and your brain will hurt from all the details.

Over 90% of the information about the oneworld RTW product, oneworld Explorer, can be found at oneworld.com at the link provided in Viajero's post above. While the oneworld Explorer page has always done a nice job of summarizing the product, oneworld now provides much more detailed information than it had in the past. Under the Fare Estimate section prices are provided, and there is also a link to the rules. I would suggest reading these very carefully as they outline what is allowed and what is not.

Now if you survived that, then you may want to explore the other alliances' RTW products. Star Alliance, or SkyTeam, although you being from Dublin, perhaps you wish to stick with BA's oneworld. If you do explore the other alliances, beware that the information is not as detailed on their web sites and you will need to rely more on the FT community for prices, pirated copies of detailed rules, and nuances of the other programs. Also the rules for the other alliances' RTW products are completely different from that of oneworld. So if your brain was hurting before, just wait...
