This deal is in my wish list, hopping the $5.4k pricing is offered again next Feb (as it has the last 2 years). My plan was always
SYD - SIN on QF or to SYD-HK on CX or QF
HKG/SIN - HEL on AY (so long haul into Finland), stay in HEL then land based trip probably Denmark, Norway, Sweden
Open jaw Euro side trip so HEL - City 1 make my own way then City 2 - HEL on AY stay a night in HEL
HEL - JFK on AY
Use AA to work way back to DFW or SFO and then QF home.
I haven't looked into enough to see if there is a way to add a caribbean or mexican stop using AA.
The itinerary is valid. You cannot add a Caribbean or Mexican stop - these would be side trips on separate tickets but can be ticketed in the same PNR for through-check purposes.
Yeah thinking something similar but no Asia. Bri/Syd - San Fran-Hel (stay after long haul)- into Europe 1 then 2 - Hel- NYC - make way through couple of USA cities- SF or DFW-Syd/Bri
The itinerary is valid.
I dont think the fare allows you to go via US on both the way to and from Europe, RTW fares usually have to be in 1 direction of travel, the exception being intra european flights which allow you to go back through HEL more than once. To skip asia id guess you need to look at a way to go via africa or ME.
It's not specifically a RTW fare as such, just a lot of agents have been calling it that for marketing reasons. You can go via the US both ways if you like. You could also go via Japan/Korea both ways if you like. There's 4 routings permitted when it is on sale and you can choose any two routings.
Africa and the Middle East are NOT permitted.
