For playing with the possibilities *A and 1W have such appz implemented in their site that makes it much easier to plan (nothing to do with availability).

 that trip was really a CLE-VCE tkt. on the way to VCE he had a stopover in Paris and overnighted (<24 hrs in ZRH on the way to Paris). while VCE-FRA-EWR-CLE was just a routing I do believe you can do a Stop in EWR as well since its a Domestic stop. If he actually wanted to spend >24 hrs in each of those Cities no way can do for 125k

I didn't use a RTW award for my Europe trip, just a regular US-Europe 125K F award.

Thank you Steve2 and Dan for the explanation. My wife and I have a set a similar trip in our sights and i was disappointed when i saw 400k. It may not be for a year or two before we can get away like that without the kinder but we will definitely use your trip reports for guidance.

If anything that would be a flight to TLV with a stop in Asia and would be 135K in J.

The problem is that *A doesn't have a flight from Asia to TLV.
Meaning you're doing US-Asia-Europe-Middle East-Europe-US

That said, with enough persistence, you could probably find an agent to do it.
Alternatively, book US-Asia-Europe-US and book Europe-TLV-Europe separately which can be had for cheap.

Gotta find the agent who thinks TLV is in Europe or Asia.
Ask if theyve worked for USAir and that's the agent you want ;)

My thoughts exactly

No, it would be an intra-Asia award that way.

Got a UA rep to do it for 120k in J.

Still not sure what you're point is.
UA charges 120K to TLV, AC charges 135K.  Either lets you route any way you want, though AC enforces MPM.
