Help on RTW
Greetings:
Anyone have any suggestions on how I could increase my milage on the following:
bos-dfw-hnl-syd-cns-mel-auk-syd-hkg-dps-hkg-nrt-hkg-lhr-auh-lhr-ist-lhr-lax-sju-bos
Does it meet the "rules".?
Using AA as my FF acct. will I make 94420 points
with the above?
Any suggestions would be appreciated........
Thanks, TomT

According to the RTW Validator it's a valid itinerary (just replace AUK with AKL).
You can squeeze a few extra miles out of it by flying to from LHR to MCT instead of AUH, and going to BOM instead of NRT from HKG. Avoiding HNL might increase your mileage too, as you could work in a JFK-HKG flight, and then down to Australia.

If mileage running is an aim, then alter your continent order (NA-Asia-SWP-Europe-NA) and think Canaries rather than Turkeys, and you get 66,280 mi, 99,420 qpts:
JFK-HKG-DEL-HKG-DPS-HKG-AKL-ADL-PER-SYD-LHR-MCT-LHR-TFS-LHR-LAX-SJU-DFW-SJU-DFW-JFK
If it's in the summer and the LAX-SJU plane's not running but ANC is, then
JFK-HKG-DEL-HKG-DPS-HKG-AKL-ADL-PER-SYD-LHR-MCT-LHR-TFS-LHR-LAX-ORD-ANC-DFW-SJU-JFK
nets 66,403 mi, 99,605 qpts.
Either way if EXP is the aim, with your Eagle flights to/from BOS you'll hit the century.
