Round the World, Circle Pacific, and Distance-Based Awards

The RTW universe is collapsing. Four programs ended in the last 18 months: ANA Star RTW (June 2025), Singapore KrisFlyer Star RTW (May 2024), SkyTeam Go Round (2024-25), Singapore KrisFlyer Pacific Circle (likely 2024-25). What's left is concentrated in Star Alliance, oneworld, and a few regional distance-based programs.

This skill provides:

Comprehensive coverage of every active RTW and Circle product
Historical charts for discontinued programs (so the agent doesn't get fooled by stale blog posts)
Distance-based regional alternatives that often beat RTW pricing for shorter trips
Decision rules for picking the right product

Data file: data/rtw-awards.json. Contains 17 programs with confidence markers (VERIFIED / LIKELY) and primary-source citations. Distance helper: scripts/calc_distance.py (haversine, supports cumulative multi-segment routes, with built-in distance-band lookups for Star Alliance / Qantas / oneworld Global Explorer).

Quick Decision Tree

Want to actually circle the globe?
  └→ Want to pay cash? → oneworld Explorer (3-6 continents, online bookable; LIKELY ~$3.6K-$6.9K economy per Upgraded Points 2026; verify on rtw.oneworld.com)
  └→ Want to use miles?
       ├→ Star Alliance RTW (online bookable; Special Business 26k-mile distance band, USD price varies by routing/origin, historically a strong J value)
       ├→ Lufthansa M&M (fixed 195k Y / 400k J / 540k F miles, phone only)
       └→ Qantas oneworld Classic Reward RTW (35k mi cap, 132,400/318,000 Y/J pts)

Want to circle the Pacific Rim only?
  ├→ Star Alliance Circle Pacific (online via member; 22k or 26k mi)
  └→ oneworld Circle Pacific (travel agent only)

Want a multi-carrier oneworld trip but not full RTW?
  ├→ Cathay Asia Miles oneworld multi-carrier (13 distance bands; cheapest J at 60k mi <1000mi)
  ├→ JAL Mileage Bank multi-carrier (10 bands; sweet spot 25k Y / 48k J <4000mi)
  └→ Qantas oneworld Classic (separate from its RTW config)

Just want regional flights cheap?
  ├→ Aeroplan distance-based (NA: 6k Y starting <500mi; Atlantic: 32.5k Y starting <4000mi)
  └→ Iberia Plus Avios (intra-Europe: 3,500 Y under 650mi off-peak)
