rtw itinerary
Here’s a rtw itinerary for comment. Most of the places were picked out for personal reasons, but I would appreciate comments that might help maximize miles or suggestions of other places to visit that might be more interesting for one reason or another. Suggestions for other starting points would also be welcome.
cai-lhr-mel-per-syd-hkg-bom-hkg-nyc-lax-sjo-dfw-slc-nyc-gig-scl-ipc-scl-gig-lhr-cai
This would probably be in first class, beginning sometime around September.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.

If you have considered that LAX-SJO is seasonal, I'd say the itinerary looks valid. The only comment I'd make is that there are quite a few 'non-F' segments, a pity when buying an AONEx.

In order to make slc-nyc in two segments and still not go over the 20 seg limit, try syd-bom-hkg-nyc, to save the hkg-bom segment.
Also, I'm not sure if you can fly both mel-per AND per-syd.
(If this actually is possible, please let me know... I'd like to arrange such a thing for next month)

Keep in mind that the LAX-SJO segment certainly won't be optimum comfort. I'm doing both LAX-SAL-LAX and LAX-SJO-LAX - but now question my sanity. Both outbound flights leave about midnight and are on 757s. 5 hours on a narrow body plane overnight - ugh.
