Our honeymoon ended up being a RTW, though it wasn't exactly our intention:

DTW-MIA-JFK-FRA-SIN-MLE-SIN-HKG-ORD-DTW

I did two, in business class. These we're business trips and a RTW was cheaper and more convenient. I don't remember the details clearly of which destinations were on which trips, but it was something like the following:

MSP-HKG-IST-ARN-AMS-MSP

MSP-NRT-SYD (with separate tickets to several other places in Australia) -IST-AMS-MSP

Did one winter 2010-11, took about 5-6 months to complete since it was done before and after a semester of grad school.

ICN-HKG-JNB (about 8 days in SA split between Jo'burg and Cape Town)
JNB-ZRH (around 5 days in Switzerland)
ZRH-YYZ (weekend)
YYZ-IAH (semester)
IAH-SEA (2 days)
SEA-ICN (summer bumming around Asia)

SANbound Jul 6, 2014 8:05 am

Haven't yet.... have my first planned for myself and Mrs. SANbound next spring.

SAN-SEA-LHR// Eurostar to Paris and back to London // LHR-DXB-SYD-BKK-HKG-ORD-PHX-SAN

All OneWorld First except for the SYD-BKK-HKG which is on TG F and Regional J. We are pretty excited as I haven't done Intl F since the days of the recliners in the late 90's and the wife has never experienced it.

Have one scheduled in November 2014.

DFW-LAX-SYD-DXB-DOH-DFW, although considering route change in way home to be HKG-LHR-DFW just so I can try out CX first and first ride on a 747.

Cannot wait!

Back when I was a little kid in the 80's and went to the UK to see my Dad's side of the family for the first time:

AKL-SIN-DXB-LHR-LAX-HNL-AKL

ILikeComfort Jul 6, 2014 8:47 am

PHL - SFO - ICN (short side trip to Deajeon) - DXB - IAD - PHL

Middle_Seat Jul 6, 2014 8:50 am

Did one in 2012 and another in 2013.

The first was just barely a RTW, because (as per the flight-track monitor in the IFE) the plane routed just slightly west of the North Pole on the DEL-ORD segment that followed the trans-Pac portion of the trip. So, it was a RTW that avoided Europe entirely.

The second RTW utilized the (no longer available) US Air routing from North America to Asia, with return via Europe.
