Hi, fellow travellers,
I've recently obtained a large number of Avios, across their varying programs, and would like to use them to book a RTW ticket.
(My apologies if there's already a thread on this.)
Is this something that's possible? If so, can it be completed online or only over the phone (and feed the flight numbers and dates to the phone operator)?
(I have used Avios before to book Q-Suites, so I am familiar with that process.)

I'm relatively familiar with how to book a RTW flight with QF points and was hoping for something similar. Would the same 1W routing rules apply?

I have my various Avios accounts linked (BA, QR, AY, IB) and have been able to transfer between them.
Is one of these programs easier or cheaper for RTW awards than others?

What's others' experience been like with this?

Thanks in advance.
