valid STAR RTW routing?
Hello all,
Tried to garner this from the rules and from past posts but not clear on answer.
Is this a valid routing for a STAR RTW3 (39,000 miles)
CDG
DEL
FRA
JNB
MUC
SFO
NRT
xFRA
CDG
if not, which part of the rules prohibits this. I am only seeing no 2X crossings of pacific and atlantic.
thanks in advance.

This new routing starting in DEL looks valid to me. There are no restrictions on Africa<->Europe journeys.
Great Circle Mapper tells me the new itinerary is only 29098 miles. Maybe could you slim it down a bit and get a 29000 mile ticket?

MilesToGoBeforeISleep asked if DEL-FRA-JNB-MUC-SFO-NRT-DEL a valid routing for a RWSTAR ticket and smallem suggested that MilesToGoBeforeISleep could slim it down a bit and get a RWSTAR1 ticket.
Yes, this would be a valid routing if you find a non-stop *A flight servicing NRT-DEL. If MilesToGoBeforeISleep does and if he not has to go to FRA, does not intend to fly on Tuesdays or Wednesdays and does not buy a F ticket, he could do DEL-VIE-MUC-JNB-MUC-SFO-NRT-DEL. But I assume the has to go NRT - BKK or SIN - DEL and then he is out of the 29.000 miles range.
