Round the World Club
 

Thought this would be a good opportunity for everyone who has made the trip around the globe to sound off about their routing, destinations, clubs, planes, and hotels.

Go!

My only real RTW is JFK > MXP > PRG > AMS > NRT > HKG > JFK coming in November. Super pumped :)

In 2010 did RTW buying individual tickets...
LAX to Fiji (10 day stopover)
Fiji to Christchurch, NZ (3 weeks)
Queenstown to Syndney (2 weeks)
Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur
KL to Langkawi
Langkawi to KL
KL to Ho Chi Minh (2 weeks in Vietnam)
Hanoi to BBK
BBK to Amman (2 weeks in Jordan)
Tel Aviv to Athens (1 week in Greece)
Athens to Madrid (3 weeks in Spain)
Madrid to Lisbon (1 week in Portugal)
Lisbon to NYC
NYC to LAX

Total time traveling--5 months

I've done twice.
First RTW:
BOS-MUC-HKG-PVG, PVG-SIN-EWR-BOS
Second RTW:
BOS-IAD-BRU-VIE, VIE-NRT-TPE-PVG, PVG-BKK-NRT-ORD-BOS

LHR-FRA-KIX-NRT-HKG-BKK-USM-BKK-SIN-AKL-PPT-BOB-PPT-LAX-ORD-LHR 15 years ago for my honeymoon. I think the whole ticket cost something like $1,500 (not including the segments to USM and BOB) and I got upgraded on NRT-HKG and FRA-KIX because it was my honeymoon.

I booked a few award and revenue flights back in March...

PER-SYD-DXB-DOH-LHR-IAH
IAH-DEN-ORD
ORD-PIA
PIA-DTW-BOS-JFK
JFK-DXB-SIN-PER

In 2001 I spent a year doing London-Frankfurt-Mumbai//Chennai-Singapore-Hong Kong-Singapore-Denpasar-Darwin-Perth-Yulara//Sydney-Auckland//Christchurch-Singapore//Bangkok-Tokyo-Vancouver-Boston-London.

Then last year did a much-shorter Newark-Frankfurt-Bangkok-Haneda//Narita-JFK.

Currently in the middle of a JFK-London-Frankfurt-Seoul-Beijing-Hong Kong- JFK.

Thankfully the latter 2 mostly in F unlike my 2001 backpacking saga...

CDG-JFK-HKG-MNL-HKG-CDG.
2 nights in each city ( JFK, MNL, HKG). 7 days total.
Flew AF miles promo award to JFK in J
Use AA miles to fly CX F & J JFK-HKG-MNL and HKG-CDG
Cash for MNL-HKG and got opup to J
Got affected by jet lag only in MNL, took 3 hours to sleep.
A great trip.

Last year, so happy AA was still doing it:
JFK-SYD-MEL-AKL-BNE-HKG-BKK-DEL-AMM-CAI-MAD-LIM-IPC-SCL-PUQ-OPEN JAW-GIG-JFK. $700 in taxes total & 160,000 miles.

17 years ago, with a pack on my back, I bought one--LAX-CPH-LHR-PRG-BKK-PNH-BKK-TPE-LAX. Early in the trip i met a boy, and by the second BKK I decided to come back to London to see him and I'm still here now. So I guess I haven't finished it yet.

Earlier this year I did jfk, Istanbul, tel aviv, Addis Ababa, Hong Kong, manila, Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh, siem reap, bangkok, chiang mai, Beijing, Chicago, jfk.

It was definitely the most fun thing I have ever done. Was a united award to and from asia with stopovers and open jaw, and air Asia and phillipine airlines filling the gaps.

Air asia is outstanding.
