Longest Trip on a FF Award ?
Was curious what the longest routing on 1 FF award could be. I just flew DFW-JFK-HKG-JNB and return on an AA award. The total round-trip distance was 32,300. Are there any longer trips that could be taken? Whats the max. mileage that can be taken on a One-World RTW ticket?

One World has a FF award good for up to 50,000 miles, unlimited stops, up to one tear of travel. Change of date is free, rerouting is a $75 fee. Ticket takes 160K miles in cattle car class and 220K in bus. I hope to leave for a year of wandering in April of 2001. Has anyone else here done this?

Qantas have an award which takes Qantas points, which are Km based NOT miles (i.e. much easier to accrue) 100 k =60 miles approx.
31,001-50,000 km coach 130K Bus 195 K 1st 260K
50,001-70,00 Km coach 150k, Bus 225K, 1st 300K
Now QF have pretty good routes, and NO r-t-w rules need apply .. i.e you can backtrack if you wish, as long as you do not go thru point of origin.
They may offer same deal for less "mile" points via One World?
