By the way, the title of this thread has since become erroneous. I had been working with Airtreks.com out of San Francisco. Due to an error on my part I couldn't get the ticket money to them in time and missed the chance to use their tickets. I searched around the usual travel sites and then, just for kicks, I went to Continental and plugged in a multiple destination trip. I got nearly the same price as the "deal" I was going to get from Airtreks only now I can make changes to all the flights and I get all the miles. The downside is that we will not technically fly around the world. We will go from Japan to London via New York.
