Greetings,

There's some fantastic stuff here and you are all so knowledgeable. I know nothing....

Sorry to ask a silly question, but I have spent at least 24 horus trying to read all the info you have all written here! My eyes are a bit tired now!

My wife and I are planning:

LON-NBO-JNB (plus more flights to make up the Africa section to 4)

Then

JNB-PER-AYERS ROCK-SYD-AKL

Then

AKL-SIN-HKG-BEJ-TKO

Then

TKO-SFO-VANCOUVER-PANAMA-MIA-COSTA RICA-ANU

Then

ANU-LON

Is this possible? One TA here said this equalled 4 continents but then another said 5. I didnt think your starting place counted. Also can I add more sectors in?

Thanks for your help in advance - we are planning to leave within the next week or so, so if you can help sooner rather than later that woudl be ace. (But I appreciate you might all have more important things on your minds!) I had become very excited about finding �1300 business class fares ex CAI but I understand now this has changed!

Best wishes,

William

William,

Welcome to FT Oneworld!

Unfortunately, Europe, Africa, SW Pacific. Asia, N America looks like 5 to me.

Plus you have a load of other problems... for example:

- you can only have 20 flight segments in total; what you have already listed will require more than that because BJS-TYO, AKL-SIN, SFO-YVR, YVR-Panama and maybe some other each require more than one flight segment

- JNB-PER is a code-share operated by SAA so cannot be used on a xONE5 ticket

- doing this from scratch within a week is rather ambitious for a newbie!

- even ex-CAI a DONE5 will currently cost you about GBP3000+taxes and GBP4919 ex-UK.

Have another go at reading the FAQ sticky at the top of this forum and try again - remembering that the key constraint is 20 flight segments. Use one of the OneWorld timetables listed in the FAQ to find out where you can fly, and watch out for who the operating airline is - you can't use flights operated by non-OneWorld airlines even if they have a OneWorld codeshare.

Thanks for that, Chris.

Mght go back to the one we did last year - great escapade and buy add-ons!!! better the devil you know and all that. Will do more reading about D/L one though. Shame you have to include where you start as a continent.

Thanks,

William
