Well here was I thinking a quick dash around Asia wouldn’t warrant a trip report. Especially as I only have a mobile phone to write it with. But the flight delay gods had other things planned. So here goes …
I am going to EU in September to watch some cars driving round and round very fast. The best way to do the trip from a BA TP/$ perspective was a RTW trip. I could have 16 legs, and each one needed to be over 2,000 miles to get min 140TPs. Anything less is only usually 40.
The best place to start a RTW trip cost wise is actually Japan. But I had to get there to start it. Hence a quick trip on my days off in July.
This stretch is MEL-HKG-NRT (Y) NRT-KUL-ICN-KUL-SYD (J) SYD-MEL (Y). The Y flights are the connections to make it happen. In September I will continue with MEL-SYD (Y) SYD-PER-LHR-DOH-FCO … But that is a tale for another time.
