RTW help
I’m about to take my third RTW (thanks for all the advise on the previous ones). This time a DONE3 ex ARN. The reason is that I’ have some business in the US and SW Asia the beginning of next year. I’m planning to break up my journey by a separate ticket US-Europe and then continue on towards Asia.
My intention is not purely business, I planning to get some status on BA to so a part of the trip is for miles. I hope I can get as good advice on this trip as I have got earlier.
I’m planning to visit (not in order)
MIA, DFW /back to Europe / SFO, YVR, NYC, HKG, SIN, DEL, LHR, DXB, LHR (the Dubai trip for miles only).
All improvements mile and itn-wise are welcome.
Best

As far as I'm aware AA only fly to ANC in summer, so I don't think the DFW-ANC-DFW option would work if the OP is flying at the beginning of the year. If you're game to try out IB's new J product then you could be a bit creative. I've added Belize for taste, but you may prefer other interesting options:
ARN-xMAD-JFK-DFW//DFW-BZE-MIA-SFO-xDFW-YVR-HKG-SIN-xHKG-DEL-xHKG-LHR-xDXB-LHR-ARN
If mileage is your only concern, then perhaps:
ARN-xLHR-YVR-DFW//DFW-SFO-MIA-JFK-AUA-xJFK-HKG-SIN-xHKG-DEL-xHKG-LHR-xDXB-LHR-ARN
Edited: SFO-YVR is allowed Dec 1-Jan 31
ARN-xMAD-JFK-DFW//DFW-BZE-MIA-SFO-xDFW-YVR-HKG-SIN-xHKG-DEL-xHKG-LHR-xDXB-LHR-ARN

The OP is breaking his early '07 trip by going to Europe and back, presumably some time later, that's why christep's proposed ANC run, is placed after DFW//DFW, and has the depending on timing caveat.
