You only get 5 one way flights to get around the world from wherever you are now.  

 

-They don't have to be real world direct routes

-You are allowed to travel by land or sea between flights

-Each motion has to take you forward in the journey (no dawdling to see all of a country for example)

-You have to end up where you started

 

When someone asked me this the first time I said :

 

NYC > Dakar 

    

Abidjan > Srinagar 

  

Delhi > Bali

Sydney > Santiago

  

Montevideo > NYC

I'd like to save up miles until I could do this in a premium cabin :-).

 

Flight 1: NYC - ZRH on LX (SWISS) A330 Lie Flat Staggered Business Class

 

Enjoy Switzerland.

 

Flight 2: ZRH-IST on TK (Turkish) Business/First Class

 

Explore IST and be sure to spend time using the airport's lounges as the TK IST Clubs are supposed to be some of the world's best.

 

Flight 3: IST-DXB on TK (Turkish) Business/First Class

 

Flight 4: DXB - HKG on EK (Emirates) A380 Super Jumbo Business Class lie-flats (with requisite use of the DXB clubs before departure)

 

Explore HKG

 

Flight 5: HKG - JFK on CX (Cathay Pacific) 777-300 lie-flats after using their "Wing" lounge in HKG.

 

(I technically live near WAS so I'd begin and end the trip with a ride WAS-NYP in Acela Express First Class)

For my airline once I did IAD-DEL-LAX-IAD. It would be a check of a trip but it works and it is three flights.

[AJ787-9]

I have a few variations but it's basically this:

 

AKL-(EK)-DXB-(EY)-LON-(BA)-JFK-(LA/B6)-SCL/EZE/LAX-(NZ/LA)-AKL

 

LON - Overnight, catching BA1 LCY to JFK via SNN, at 0945GMT, otherwise it's direct from LHR.

[Chubby Bear]

NZ  - AKL-LAX-LHR

SIA -LHR- SIN-AKL
