Thanks. So, I think what you are saying, is,that using the MultiCarrier Award chart, it is impossible to know whether or not,your RTW routing will be accepted ? And if RTW is not acceptable, then it should be made very clear at the outset.

It’s not impossible! The booking system will allow you, when calling, to book almost anything without checking fare rules, but when the system or the agent can’t calculate the Avios or cash fare it is sent to a fares/ticketing team. Your booking will be accepted and priced if it complies with the rules, so it’s worth checking the itinerary carefully to avoid surprises. I was quite surprised, without checking the detail, that the OP’s itinerary criss-crossing the Pacific would work.
