Would this routing qualify for a DONE3?
Want to start a trip this Sun (so somewhat of a last minute, urgent request...) with following routing:
NYC-HKG-LHR-YYZ-NYC
It comes out to close to $9K in J. Would I be able to get it cheaper if I get it as a RTW in D?

As wideman points out unable to purchase last minute if in NA. It would have been significantly cheaper at $6600 + taxes for the DONE3. The routing is valid and would qualify for a DONE3.

TRAVEL ON THE LAST INTERNATIONAL SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 10 DAYS AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL SECTOR:
EXCEPTION 1 - FOR TRAVEL ORIGINATING IN EUROPE
TRAVEL ON THE LAST INTERCONTINENTAL SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 10 DAYS AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF THE FIRST INTERCONTINENTAL SECTOR
EXCEPTION 2 - FOR TRAVEL ORIGINATING SOUTH WEST PACIFIC/HONG KONG
FIRST AND BUSINESS CLASS - NONE
So from NA 10 days after first International sector regardless of class.
