DONE3 Planning ex Japan - Europe questions

[Rae]

Hi all,

I'm planning another RTW trip, but having read the advice on this board I'll leave ex: Japan via a DONE3 and save significant $$.

A couple of questions I hope you can help with

a) Any truth to rumours that this flight will go up in price significantly soon?

b) Are there 16 sectors allowable in a DONE3?

b) Europe. I keep trying to work it out via the One World site but get stuck.

The overall plan right now is:
Tokyo>Honolulu>San Francisco>Las Vegas>Miami>Toronto>Barcelona>Paris (all direct non-stop flights)

Then I get stuck. I'm happy to train it to reach Prague and Amsterdam, but what's the best way to then get back into Japan from Europe? It seems every combination I try goes via London or Helsinki, thus adding too many legs in Europe.

1. DONE3 ex Japan is has a current base price of ¥ 656,300 (~AUD7,020)
2. Yes
3. Try the oneworld Interactive Map. (Hint: click on Tokyo and select "All routes from Tokyo")
