When I said that you don't need to travel RTW, I meant literally going in one direction all the way around the globe.  The 'RTW' is taken to mean that and it is a specific requirement of airline alliance 'RTW' fares (eg. the XONEx OneWorld Explorer (paid for with money) fares: Global Travel | oneworld).


There have been many instances on this thread (OneWorld Award - ie. paid for with points) where people have either actually or seemingly mixed up the two.  "RTW' is convenient shorthand for the OneWorld Explorer; it is misleading shorthand for the OneWorld Award.  It could result in people 'forcing' themsleves to circumnavigate the globe and using up miles in the distance allowance when they don't need to.

QR is generally recognised as having the best Business Class in the sky in their Qsuite-fitted aircraft (Global Travel | oneworld), hence the suggestion to look for availability on QR.  Qsuites are still fairly new, so you need to check closely to see where they are offered.  I don't think any of their A380s yet have them, but some B777s and A350s do.


Sorry about the bum steer on the Wiki.  It did reside at the top of this thread until the recent system changes, but I had forgotten it has now gone.  See post #1 for a link to the information from the wiki.
