One world Alliance, combines American Airlines, BA, Qantas, Aer Lingus,
LanChile, Iberian, Finnair and Cathay Pacific.

You book thru your appropriate local airlne. Ticket prices vary based on
the number of continents visited. You cannot "go backwards" from
continent to continent, but it is pretty flexible within continents.

For example, we did four flights in Australia, then Syd-LAX, six flights
in the US and Caribbean, then Puerto Rico-Madrid, four flights in
Europe, then home to Oz via Singapore in March to July this year. Total
cost for two at that time was just under AU$6000, which is about
US$4300.

You have twelve months to do it in, and are allowed four or six "legs"
in each continent.

See http://www.oneworldalliance.com/ or check thru your local airline
member.

Oh, and we got enough frequent flyer miles to go to Fiji for next year's
holiday free.
