A simple one on Avios.

LHR-JFK (BA or AA)
JFK-HND (AA or JAL)
HND-LHR (BA or JAL)
or you could do HND-HEL-LHR on AY, HND-HKG-HEL-LHR with a combination of JAL/CX/AY)

Also use multi-partner award chart and call to book:

It was a long time ago, but we did RTW for our honeymoon in Biz. It was super-cheap. Not sure if they still offer them but a good idea to ask with the independent travel agents.

You’ll have to be more specific as to Where you actually want to go

As below you could have a very boring Itin or you could spice it up with over land and open Jaws.

The big problem with AVIOS\Virgin Miles is that there has to be availability in the cabin of your choice, whilst a true RTW ticket can be very flexible.

We did a RTW trip in 2019 that combined AVIOS\Miles&More\AAdvantage and CASH elements and (unlike Prima Donnas on here) used economy cabins and any aircraft to achieve the goal.
