RTW Booking Advice
Looking for information on the following routing:
MIA-SFO-HND-PEK-PVG-HKG-SIN-LHR-CDG-TXL-FRA-MIA
Is there anyway to book the PEK-PVG flight? No options for this come up at hte oneworld planner.
Also any suggestions as to who I should book this with? Looking to go some time late this year.
Thanks for the help.

I am not an expert but I think if the route does not show up, no one flies it, including Dragonair. You might have to go to fly CX to HKG to transit back to PVG. You seem to have 5 extra flight segments if you buy an xONE3 ticket, which has 16 flights.
If you use the booking tool, it will default to using AA to book as you start in MIA.
If this is your itinerary, you would not get great value out of an xONE3 ticket, you might get a better deal from http://www.airtreks.com/ or a US company specialising in RTW tickets. In Australia I use bestflights.com.au

I would be surprised if anyone in OW flew the PKG-PVG route
The other issue you have in rerouting is that you are limited to 4 flight segments in SE Asia (HND-PEK-PVG-HKG-SIN) which you have already allocated. You can "buy" the allocation of a 5th segment.
Consider it an opportunity to use the new high speed train. Land segments count as one of the 16 segments but not as a zone (eg Asia) segment
