RTW help please
Hi
I am a total novice at RTW but looking into them as they price well compared with regular flights to eg Europe.
A possible C or F RTWSTAR1 route is:
AKL-LAX-LHR-SIN-BKK-SIN-MNL-SIN-AKL
I want to stopover LHR, SIN and one or 2 in Asia (havent decided where yet). Prefer SQ where practical.
Does this look okay? Can you please suggest improvements? Would I save much by starting and finishing in say BKK?
TIA

Yes only one transit through SIN is more than 24 hours. With the schedules and frequency of flights I can probably make the other two around 18-20 hours if I wanted.
