Help me choose RTW destinations for 2018.

Hi everyone,

After a little over a year of dabbling in point and miles, I have accumulated nearly 2 million points and miles.

My plan is to switch jobs towards the second or third quarter of 2018 and go on a solo, maybe +1 if i get an SO, around the world in First/Biz for a min of 30 days, max 60 days, prior to my new job.

I love to travel, so there is little to no destination in the world that I would not like to visit, excluding the countries that are at war/extremely dangerous. City life, Beach life, Mountain life. I'm open to pretty much anything.

Here are the points that I have.

  • UR: ~300,000
  • MR: ~250,000
  • AA:~200,000
  • AS:~65,000
  • BA:~200,000 + Travel together voucher.
  • B6:~100,000
  • DL:~110,000
  • Marriott: ~250,000
  • SPG: ~60,000
  • IHG: ~250,000
  • Hyatt: ~90,000

For this trip I already have a few airlines that I'm 100% for sure that I will try. That would be Etihad apartment BOM<->AUH<->JFK, Qatar first class out of DOH for the Al Safwa lounge (I was thinking DOH -CAN on A380). SIN, CX, JAL, firsts are ones that I would like to take as well, but not necessary.

All suggestions welcome. Especially routes that can help me maximize value!
