Wow ^

A few hundred miles under 29,000 (even more if substitute MNL for closer destination) and well under 24 flights, so could add more.

Without MNL there's enough for 1 more codeshare RTs from FRA for an extra 2.5 sectors!

Some people are never satisfied. Give them the holy grail and they immediately want a better holy grail. :p :D

Yup :D

I am a person who doesn't like to deal with the aftermath. The SQ-code share PPS sectors are something that I have been trying to avoid to deal with it. ;) So all my plans are always plain and simple and straightforward... :p

I acknowledge my unworthiness before the master. ;) Well done, zvezda. :cool: ^

The downside of ZRH-MAN-ZRH-MAN-ZRH is ZRH-MAN vv only Tuesdays and Thursdays, so this takes up a minimum of 3 days (including the Monday night forced stay at Zurich due to early departure time).
I retract the slander. It was mental niggle left from having twisted my brain in trying to work out a OW-based RTW.

I second this, and in the spirit of not leaving a stone unturned, can anyone point out the best PPS sector yield to be had rom a FRWSTAR1? :)

The fact I havent seen it, or more accurately I cannot recall seeing it, doesnt mean such rule doesnt exist. But if it does, then it has been ignored for one of my RTWs now that I think about it.

On zvezda's routing (and my amendment) only the codeshare intra-europe doesnt have F class. So that will be 22.5 * 1.2 + 5 = 32 PPS sectors

There is a saying in Russian: Мальенкий долар луче болшой спасибо. It translates to something like "A little money is better than a big thank you." While I really do appreciate the praise (really!), I am not too proud to accept gifts of upgrade certs, miles, points, dollars, or euro, etc. if my work on this has been valuable to you. :)

Whoooaaaa Nelly! I'm working on planning my first RTW also. You mean I'd have to break up the SIN-HKG-SFO into different flight numbers to get the 6.25? Are you sure? I can see what you're saying because it's a "thru" flight, but still--sucks. Then again, breaking up the trip in HKG might be fun. I love HKG!

30 all up :D.Only YVR-JFK and FRA-ZRH is not on SQ metal.
Is that the 34k ticket or the 39k ticket?

Absolutely sure.

I knew there was a Russian saying that applied here. :p ;) This unworthy one doesn't have the resources to gift you with anything but his awe and gratitude, unfortunately.
