RTW Itinerary for comment
I'm about to book my tickets for:
auh-xhkg-per-mel-lax-xmia-pty-xmia-ord-xmad-fco-amm-auh.
We live in auh - hence start/finish point.
We (wife and I) will spend one month end of May and June doing this trip. Part vacation - part meeting up with friends & family - part going to a wedding.
We have to be in per/mel/pty/ord - other stops are to break the journey (lax) or because we liked the idea (fco).
Any comments on ways in which the route could be improved either to get better price/ more points etc. would be most welcome.

You'll get better advice if you indicate what class of service you're using (economy, business, first) and what FF scheme you use.

I have another question but thought I'd better post in this thread. BTW - thank you for your help on the other sticky ^
I'm planning a RTW LHR-HKG-BNE-MEL-SYD-LAX-SFO-NYC-LHR
I'm looking at a DONE4 Europe, Asia, SW Pacific, US
1 Can I add to the itinerary once booked, say change the LHR-HKG-BNE.... to LHR-HKG-SGN-HKG-BNE.....
2 I'd quite like to add in a trip to DOH and do LHR-DOH-LHR-HKG.... Is there a way to do this without starting in Europe. I have family in France and Holland that I visit regularly anyway so starting there won't be a problem.

2. If you start in LHR you cannot transit through LHR later.
Also keep in mind:
You should begin familiarizing yourself with the rules:

I'm starting to see the light. I think. Starting in Europe does not necessarily give you the opportunity to explore Europe at your leisure before you embark on the rest of your trip?

Or would I have to end back in AMS/TLS/BOD without a further stopover? I did read somewhere that you could start and finish in different countries?
