RTW Awards available?
Forgive the ignorance but is it possible to earn a RTW trip with American Airlines FF miles? If so, how many miles are needed? Is there a website that explains it in detail?
If not, what is all your opinion on the best usage of miles to hit as many international destinations as possible on one award? I know about stop overs and open jaw on 2 cities. Is it possible to use more miles and hit more cities? Thanks in advance.

Have fun today because tomorrow you may regret not enjoying yesterday...

You can use your AA miles to construct a RTW using the Oneworld award chart.

Thanks! Can anyone recommend a good itinerary from DFW to hit as many countries as possible in Europe?

Sample itinerary. This should at least give you some ideas.
DFW-FRA-HEL-CPH-HEL-ARN-LHR-CDG-LHR-FCO-DUB-AMS-DUB-BRU-MAD-VIE-MAD-ZRH-DFW
Thirteen countries in Europe. Distance Zone 7, total trip miles 20,001 to 25,000. Miles required 120Y/150C/230F.
You are allowed unlimited segments, however, you may stop in each city once and connect no more than twice.

AK,
Thanks! It was nice of you to take the time to post that. I think I'll use that later this fall.
I know about the airtreks.com website but is there a better website that gives you an idea of which cities/routes you can take and the total number of mileage?
I came across this link for calculating mileage. Seems pretty good.
