Let's try this again
YYZ-LHR-CAI-AMM-LGW//SIN-NRT-DEL-HGK-DPS-PER//BNE-AUK-NAN-HNL-DFW-PTY//SJO-MIA-YYZ
If I am right that is 19 segments, 1 extra to purchase for Asia & 1 more if I want?
If I read right xONE 4 continent, when booking I have to give full itinerary but only have to schedule the first flight & can leave the rest open?
Thanks again

Thought if it as on the One World map it was OK, learn some thing every day, so I guess just go back to SYD then on to HNL.
Made an error in my first post meant plane stopped, not that I was making a stop over. Only stop overs in NA are HNL & PTY. The DFW & MIA are airline scheduled stops.
The info is greatly appreciated.

In that case, a suggestion for future posts: place an 'x' next to the city code, that way we know that you are considering a connection, not a stopover. Something like this: ....HNL-xDFW-PTY//SJO-xMIA-YYZ

Mileage Monkey
Try putting your itn in the unofficial Mileage Monkey. Not always 100% pefect, but better than the OneWorld site

busman7 welcome to FT and the OW forum as well. The routing your a building at the moment is designed for a xONE4 fare. However, there is another OW RTW product. The Global Explorer. This fare includes three more airlines one of them being Air Pacific. So your Fiji stop would work. Only problem is that there is no direct flight from NAN-HNL so you would have to go back to SYD.
I have never done a Global Explorer myself, so far only a few non optimized DONE4s.

Very useful info, once again thanks to everyone, new to this & a lot to learn.
Will try Mileage Monkey.
viajero will post properly next time so every one knows what I mean & misread your post yesterday, no offence taken.
Think will stick with itinerary for this trip, however as it gets closer probably try to find cheap flight YYZ-LHR & start there as we really get ripped off originating from Canada.
Then do another in the future combining Africa, SA & Fiji.
Cheers

Mileage Monkey said invalid "Rule Violated!!! (DFW-PTY) MAX 1 segment: one Intl/departure/arrival from country of origin"
However the same itinerary is valid when starting from LHR, which would end up cheaper any way.

Air Tahiti is the domestic airline of French Polynesia. AFAIK the QF codeshare is operated by Air Pacific.

However I don't think NAN-xSYD-HNL would work on a Global Explorer as HNL is in North America and NAN is in the SWP region, and no inter-regional backtracking is allowed.

You're right; I was brain cramping NAN for PPT, where the "QF" flight is on TN (I also left off the "Nui" part.)
However I don't think NAN-xSYD-HNL would work on a Global Explorer as HNL is in North America and NAN is in the SWP region, and no inter-regional backtracking is allowed.

Very sad that there is no QF flight to PPT anymore. This would be so great for a DONE4 and for my vacation next year in August. Now it will be NZ from SYD-PPT...

[QUOTE=DownUnderFlyer;8714610]Maybe he could to something like AKL-NAN-SYD-HNL?
Won't work "No One World airline AKL-NAN"
Going with this: LHR-CAI-AMM-LHR//SIN-NRT-DEL-HKG-DPS-PER//BNE-AKL-SYD-HNL-xDFW-PTY//SJO-xMIA-YYZ-LHR
That way gives me business class for almost same price as economy from NA & still have one segment to play with.

Try starting ex-ARN - it's cheaper too IIRC.
