ExecPlatinum_Lord, just curious how the planning is coming along?

One further twist to consider if you're going to being doing this multiple times over the next 18 months is that RTW tickets (including A/DCIR22 and A/DCIR26) are priced based on the point of origin. An ACIR22 and ACIR26 are about $6,200 or $7,500 ex-Hong Kong (plus taxes).

Given that the ticket is good for 12 months, you just need to get to HKG on the first leg(s) of the first ticket (ex-DFW) and then start another ticket from there. Keep going round until you finally (before the 12 months are up) use the rest of the legs on the first ticket. The ticket has to be 'issued' in Hong Kong but the AA RTW desk should be able to set it up for you and then you just need to call AA in HKG to have the ticket issued.
