GLOB34 quickest way back NZ>NA

I had something like this reserved for next year:

grr-ord-lax-ppt
ppt-akl-chc
chc-syd-ayq
mel-chc
chc-syd-bkk-lhr-ord
ord-dfw
dfw-ord-grr

Just received a phone call that this is invalid since chc-syd is being flown twice.

I know I could solve by flying to AYQ through BNE or MEL + ASP

I could also solve by flying to LHR via BNE or MEL + SIN

But I started thinking, I really don't want to go through Europe. At the end of NZ I want the quickest way from CHC to ORD [that is within rules].

Any ideas?

If I understand your question you want to do NA, SWP, and Asia and leave out Europe. You could do that on a circle pacific fare but not a Global explorer or a OWE. You have to cross the atlantic and pacific and have to have stops in areas 1, 2, and 3.

46N . 4. TRAVEL MUST INCLUDE A POINT
47N . IN AREA 1, AREA 2 AND AREA 3
48N . AND MUST BE VIA BOTH THE
49N . ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS.
50N . 1 TRANSATLANTIC AND 1
51N . TRANPACIFIC FLIGHT IS
52N . PERMITTED.

Isn't Circle Pacific requirement only 1-stop permitted in the country of origin and additional stopovers can not be purchased for country of origin?

Plus it seems the Circle fare has restrictions to nog going to NAN and PPT.

I think I will have to return via Europe on something like CHC-AKL-HKG-LHR-ORD or CHC-BNE-SIN-LHR-ORD

My statement regarding circle pacific was how a person could do NA-SWP-Asia without going to Europe, not a comment on the OP's itinerary fitting a cirpac. If the OP wants to do what he asked substantial changes to his itinerary would be required.

Your comments about stopovers are correct though.

You could always buy a R/T (award) ticket to the US then come back and do Europe later
