Best round the World Fares

Up until recently, my voracious hunger for continental travels was associated with frequent calls to visit CLM to buy complex worldwide ticket deals that would hinder the hottest bookkeeper or moneylord. I was able to take full benefit from the so-called MPM (Maximum Licensed Mile System ), where if the TPM (Ticketed Point Miles) or the actually flew distance was less than the MPM limit, route and points along the way could be stretched with certain restrictions.
