I want to book a mini rtw but flights to start it are available 355 days out and I want to stay in each place a month. So do I have to wait at least 365 days before the last flight I take in the rtw come out before I book the whole rtw itinerary? THis can't be the first time on here this was questioned but I can't seem to find anything. Thanks

Probably won't see business class for a lot of it if you were going for that. If you can find YYZ-IST via Turkish, you can get it with no surcharges, although it would be United from NZ to YYZ.

Hope someone can help a newbie trying to book soon. I spent some hours learning at 3 sites: United, ANA, and Aeroplan.
1. Would this itinerary work?
YYZ – NRT or HND - NGO (stop) - CTS (stop) - HNL (stop) – YYZ.
(NGO and CTS are in Japan.)
My test entries at Aeroplan’s multi-city option showed 75K miles / person for the following: YYZ - HND – HNL - YYZ
The final leg was greyed out, with an error message, “This flight cannot be combined with your previous selections”, so I deleted the leg. I’ve read posts discussing greyed out situations, but I still don’t understand what causes flights to be greyed out.
2. Now, for YYZ (AC) - HND– HNL, the taxes and fees total was ~$406 / person, which seems not correct (I’ve read that now Japan has no YQ, even with NH or AC). How should I deal with the error if that happens when I call in? i.e., What authority should I quote for Japan = no YQ?
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I am currently booking a mini-rtw tickets, so I guess I could post my question here, though it may not be 100% proper.
I was looking at the segment of Syd-Sin, and I found a lot of availabilities with SQ with its 77W on J, and none of its 388 has J space open but Y. Is it being blocked by SQ or it is just happened to be all booked by follow flyers? I have looked as far as 340 days ahead.

Blocked by SQ.
You might find some A380 space on the BOM-SIN route though

If I do an open-jaw between SIN and BKK, will SIN (the destination farthest away from my home airport, YYC) be considered my turn for maximum mileage calculations?

Looking to go to Australia and try the new YVR-BNE route. Is this a valid routing?
YVR-BNE-(TURNAROUND)-SIN-BKK-(STOP)-SIN-FUK-NRT-(STOP)-ICN-YVR
Does the BKK-NRT via SIN make it invalid?

Since BNE is your turnaround, I don't think you can go to SIN twice as each place can be only visited once per direction. I maybe wrong, but that's what I know

2. ANA always impose surcharges, which is limited by government regulation, but it doesn't mean none.

Is 35 minutes too minor a skchg to ask for a fee-free change? I've got YEG-YVR(overnight)-SEA-Asia with YEG-YVR pushed back 35 mins and would like to ask for YEG-YYC-SEA(overnight)-Asia instead, where there's no I space on YYC-SEA (and maybe no X space on YEG-YYC, but I don't know).

They can open up space on AC metal. It's probably easier to get them to do it in Y than J.
It's also easier if you come up with a plausible reason why the change has negatively impacted you.

Hi,
New to this, not sure this is the right place to ask, but I have a question regarding a trip from YUL to the west coast.
Would something like YUL-LAS (stay 3-4 days)-SEA (stay 5-6 days)-YUL be something I could book easily? And it would cost the normal 30k miles to do so?
Thanks for your help.
