My suggestion is that you visit the All
Nippon Airways USA web site. Under specials
they have a nice print out on *A RTW fares.
Remember NH is a foreign carrier. Note the
exact terms of the carrier you will first
leave your continent from.

There are two forums on FT where you can find discussion of RTW trips: oneworld and Star. Do a search on each. I have posted a number of links in a response on the Star forum for RTW sites I found useful when planning my first trip.
One of your most important decisions will be whether to fly oneworld carriers, Star carriers, or whether to work with an agency who specializes in RTW travel and builds up a coach itinerary using point to point fares.
You'll find some of the typical RTW rules in the forums. The fares normally require a minimum and maximum number of stops, a minimum trip duration, and a minimum amount of time in advance when the trip must be booked and the first transoceanic flight locked in.
There are incredible experts on both boards. Once you've done some reading, post your questions and you'll get unbelievably good advice.
