OK guys. It is time to get back on the trolley so to speak. I have a meeting in the UK for 3-4 days next year and I am trying to work out how to make that into a RTW type trip for the same price.
My base price for comparison is the base fare I have been quoted of $9,800 for syd-hkg-lhr-bkk-syd including stops in HKG and BKK (I plan to meet with my team there). I might also try and squeeze a day in DEL as well to visit the business there which will increase my base cost for comparison.
At the same sort of time there is a professional conference in Atlanta that I would like to attend...
Soooo the question is - can I manage to make a SYD-LHR-SYD into a RTW trip for a similar price (the conference costs comes from a different budget so not a consideration).
Any thoughts on a practical way to do this?
My initial thought is an ex-NZ DONE4 along these lines:
SYD-AKL I will come back to this in a second
AKL-hkg-bkk-del-lhr-lca-lhr-jfk,lga-atl-dfw-nrt-syd-mel-syd-akl (well it wouldnt be me if I didnt make it a little interesting).
Is there a cheaper option than this?
I could roll the syd-akl cost into another trip possibly or at least have part of teh cost offsetting the cost of a syd-mel-syd trip. In addition I could really use the final syd-akl flight for another trip to AKL the following year.
Any thoughts?
