RTW Itinerary
 

I think I am figuring this out....
Needless to say, I am trying to maximize miles, so if you have any suggestions or see any problems, please let me know. I was able to get it to almost 87K. Yikes. I checked the segment number, and it looks fine. Thanks for any help and all of your patience. I have lurked on the group for a while, but never had a need to post. Everyone has been really helpful.

HEL-MEL BA via lon
MEL-PER QF
PER-PPT QF via lon and akl
PPT-BOM QF and CX via akl,syd,hkg,bkk
BOM-HKG CX via bkk
HKG-BKK CX
BKK-CHI CX and AA via hkg,yvr,nyc
CHI-HON AA
HON-EZE AA and LC via chi,nyc,scl
EZE-CCS LC via SCL
CCS-SCL LC
SCL-LAX LC via lima
LAX-LON BA
LON-DXB BA
DXB-HEL BA via lon

Thanks again...

darren,

it would help to see all the segments broken out. However all looks fine except you cannot go to Hawaii from the continental US after arriving from Asia.

Also, why not buy a ticket from HEL to Budapest and start from there. The savings on a F Class fare are signifigant!!

Oh, I didn't know about the hawaii thing. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I can leave from wherever I want to. Thing is that I have 8 months off (Jan to Sept), so I have *a lot* of flexibility.

I will check into both. Thanks.

If you have 8 months off get every mile that you can:

Or go the whole hog and take the 6 continent,add Africa and see my earlier 6 continent itinerary of 110000 miles without intercontinental backtracks (But ONLY if you're going to go 1st or Business - you won't survive otherwise!!!)

Wow... It will take me time to go through these. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I really appreciate you taking the time to post the itineraries. Also, thanks to Richlond for the Hungarian tip. I thought I had checked them all, but I missed that one. Wanted to go to Budapest anyway... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

While I am thinking about it, the only constraint is that I need a n/a stop in Los Angeles. I am going to take a few weeks there, see my family and friends, etc. I am also going to *try* to go FC. Certainly B, at the least.

I considered Africa, and will continue to do so. I need to go through and make an intinerary to include it. Oy vey...more work.

Thanks again for everything
