# Round the World, Circle Pacific, and Distance-Based Awards

The RTW universe is collapsing. Four programs ended in the last 18 months: ANA Star RTW (June 2025), Singapore KrisFlyer Star RTW (May 2024), SkyTeam Go Round (2024-25), Singapore KrisFlyer Pacific Circle (likely 2024-25). What's left is concentrated in Star Alliance, oneworld, and a few regional distance-based programs.

This skill provides:
- Comprehensive coverage of every active RTW and Circle product
- Historical charts for discontinued programs (so the agent doesn't get fooled by stale blog posts)
- Distance-based regional alternatives that often beat RTW pricing for shorter trips
- Decision rules for picking the right product

**Data file:** `data/rtw-awards.json`. Contains 17 programs with confidence markers (VERIFIED / LIKELY) and primary-source citations.
**Distance helper:** `scripts/calc_distance.py` (haversine, supports cumulative multi-segment routes, with built-in distance-band lookups for Star Alliance / Qantas / oneworld Global Explorer).
