Cheapest RTW Options for LONE4

I am looking for the cheapest way to do my RTW flight. I know not starting the RTW flight from TC1 is a lot cheaper.

Our current booking is:
USA->Costa Rica->Tokyo->Bali->India->Jordan->Madrid or Barcelona-> (potentially morocco)->tanzania->USA

How can I change this to be cheaper? Its pricing at $4400 right now.

Can use this spreadsheet to look at alternatives

However positioning flights may cost you as much as the savings, particularly for a LONE4

Bali (US $3572), India ($3354), Amman ($3320), Tanzania ($3200) are somewhat cheaper, but the positioning flights wouldn't save you much money. You would get a second visit to one of those places, though.

It might be cheaper to start in South America. South America is $3300 for an LONE4 and $3900 for an LONE5, plus positioning cost. South America trips are often under $500 - there's one to Lima listed now. You could get a free trip to Lima or Buenos Aires or somewhere if the segments work out.
