RTW QFF Points Plus Pay Help???

[applesbae]

So my plan is to fly from Adelaide - Singapore - London (overland Europe) - New York - Lima - Hawaii - New Zealand (or straight back to Adelaide from Hawaii, depending on price) in Early March 2016 til Mid - Late June 2016 in Economy Class (I'm curious about Business Class cost too). I have 100,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer Points. I'm curious as too how much in points and pay this would work out to be? I've heard that you can get RTW tickets for 140,000 points?? what's the details of that? what would be the cheapest option for me flying from Adelaide to those destinations? if you have a better itinerary along those lines please let me know your suggestions?

Be careful with points plus pay, it tends to be a better deal for Qantas and not the passenger

What you want is the "oneworld award", and not "Points Plus Pay" - they are two entirely different things. JohnM has linked to it upthread, but basically you get to travel up to 35,000 miles and have up to 5 stopovers using the oneworld award. Cost, as you've said, is indeed 140,000 Qantas points. (Plus taxes, which could be around $1,000.)

I used a oneworld award last year to fly around the world - it's a fantastic use of points.
