This is my first thread as I have only just found this site but it looks as if it is just what I am after. I am trying to organise a world trip next year using my frequent flyer points. I wanted to leave at the beginning of July, fly to Europe for 3 weeks on to New York for 4 days then Canada for 2 weeks and then finally 2 weeks in Hawaii before returning to Sydney. My problem has been arranging the flight as you can only book 355 days from when you wish to travel. So if I book The Syd to Rome leg now I can't book the Switzerland to Canada leg of the journey until those seats are released and so on. Which,to me, means that by the time the Hawaii to Sydney seats are released the Syd to Rome seats will be gone as it is peak travel time. Have I got it wrong? Does anybody know how to book the world trips or do you just accept you can't go around the world in July, which unfortunately is the only time available to us. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you Vicki
