first RTW complete -- thanks to the oneworld board!
Just wanted to say a big thanks ^ to everyone on this board for all the advice, direct and indirect (eg FAQs, links). I'm sat at home right now having just finished the last sectors of my inaugural DONE4:
GIB-LHR-DXB-LHR-SYD-AKL-SYD-PER-HKG-SIN-HKG-NRT-JFK Sept/Oct 2006
JFK-YVR-DFW-BOS-ORD-SFO-LHR//LGW-GIB May/Jun 2007
I'd barely flown in J before, was travelling for the most part alone, and the only places I'd ever visited previously were New York and San Francisco. And guess what: I had an utterly fantastic time
The whole experience would never have happened were it not for this place. I'd never even heard of the ticket, let alone known how to save money starting ex-Eu, (almost) maximise my mile earning, make good use of transit rules, etc and really want to express my appreciation. Thanks everyone!
Now I need to redeem my BA miles with an Amex 2-for-1 voucher, and then the hard work starts: figuring out how to raise enough money (and time off work!) to do it all again sometime

However, I just want to make sure: ou could travel from Sep 06 to Jun 07 on one award ticket? How long are they good for?

[QUOTE=aktchi;7852794]It wasn't an award ticket, it was a DONE4. However if it was an award ticket (several rules broken, so academic) it could still have entailed a long stopover. They're also good for a year.
