My job allows me to have several months a year off and in that time I usually travel. I find that the One World RTW offers me the widest choice and best value. My only prerequisite in planning was that I wanted to visit places I haven't travelled to before. Travel would be in economy class as this gave me more scope for ticketing purposes.
I came up with an itinerary very quickly and had no problems booking the trip with Qantas. I had to give them a call as the trip couldn't be completed online. My final itinerary was:
Brisbane - Sydney Qantas
Sydney - Johannesburg Qantas (upgraded to Premium Economy)
Side trip to Livingston Zambia with British Airways
Johannesburg - Doha - Dubai with Qatar (last leg upgraded to business)
Side trip to Iran flying Air Dubai & Air Arabia (one leg in Iran with Iran Aseman Airlines)
Dubai - Dublin via London British Airways
Dublin -Santiago via Madrid Iberia
Side trip Santiago - Easter Island with Lan Chile
Santiago - Sydney Qantas
Sydney -Brisbane Qantas.
140,000 points and $1300AUD
I am almost halfway through the trip writing from the BA Lounge Dubai Airport. I will elaborate on the journey as I go along.
