We travelled in J from Singapore to Madrid return with transits at Istanbul. Flight was good, food was excellent with plenty of flavour. The new Istanbul airport is vast and a stopover is probably the best way to go and Istanbul is a beautiful city.Great Value Turkish Airlines Round-the-World Fares is an article written by the AFF editorial team:

We are also interested in this - RTW J fares. Understood that they are not bookable via TK website, but via a travel agent. We have always done our own bookings directly with airlines - mostly using points, sometimes cash - for direct routings. Any recommendation for a TA in Sydney (lower north shore)? Thanks!

I can see myself booking this before too long. Bit disappointing about the pricing though - it’s not probably comparing apps with apples but the basic AY QR fair is about 6K odd, from memory.
@AFF Editor when you say
With a Turkish Airlines round-the-world fare originating in Australia, you can get up to two free stopovers in each direction between Australia and your final destination.
... What is the 'final destination' defined as? You mention 'around the world fare' but is there also a there and back version like you can with Finnair?
can you use this RTW to fly via Sapporo - Europe - America?
Can these actually be constructed on the TK website (multi city), or only through a travel agent?
I’ve had a go with TK’s site and can’t make anything work with stop-overs: straight one way or simple return is okay.
…which for clarity, would then appear to be any itinerary that seeks to make use of the stop overs. They are the fare element that allows these to be most useful or even considered RTW.As it says in the article, the more complex itineraries are only available to book through travel agents.
So maybe this is pretty much equivalent to the $6k back and forth to Europe which is not really RTW.
If you come across a better deal then please let us all know as I am open as to where to go, but would like to stop in Europe, USA, and Asia.
