DONE5 advice... yet another newbie
Hi there,
I'm planning on doing a DONE5 departing from Sydney.
So far we have
SYD - Shanghai-HKG-SGN-HKG-JNB-CPT-JNB-NBO-LHR-CAI-LHR-MAD-MIA surface ATL-DFW-Washington-ORD-Vancouver-LAX-PPT-AKL-CHC-MEL-SYD
Is this possible? I've tried to work it out but lost hope, also am I using up everything I'm allowed? Would have loved to have also fitted in Dubai & Beijing but couldnt find flights on OW carriers between cities...

Also LAX-PPT is a TN (Air Tahiti Nui) flight and also ineligible on xONEx. Don't think you can get to pacific (other than Hawaii) on OW from LAX. You would have to go LAX-AKL (QF) and then buy a side trip from AKL.

Thanks for the info alect. I was kinda hping to get to try Air Tahuiti Nui on the QF/AA codeshares. Guess I'll do Hawaii instead.
Thanks

Looking at it more, I think I may do the global explorer as I didnt realise I could do travel on Gulf Air also. This means I could possibly do another flight from CAI rather than having to back track to LHR etc
With the SHA flight I think I'll do QF.
