Check out the Star board. There could you check how much a RTW Star ticket would cost depends in which country you would start your trip.

You may want to check this page that one of our FT members did. He updates it regularly, I think, so prices should be fairly representative of what's currently available.

Many RTW tickets can be found a lot cheaper than those offered by Star Alliance but are not as flexable.

Easy and cheap...

Try Airtech to Europe from the States: $169 for a oneway ticket. (I flew JFK-MAD on Air Europa for $169)

From Europe to Bangkok/Singapore/HK use a travel agent or bucket shop to secure a cheap ticket. (I flew MAD-HEL-BKK on Finnair for $350)

From Asia to the States there are many cheap deals available. (I flew BKK-NRT-JFK on ANA for $1050 in business class. The economy class fare was $550.)
