Theres a United route Zurich to New York using the "Suite Dreams" thing, I was eyeing that up on Star Alliance. :) Well we have hanbed both itinerarys to a couple of Travel agents, one is Flight Centre and I am not terribly impressed as they quote a good deal more than the on-line calculator...

Ah hah well spotted on the airport codes - Hawkeye you are indeed hawkeyed- all those codes look the same to me - I was almost in China accidently :oops: DocJames - I am torn (and well spotted too). Longyearbyen is cool, but very expensive and the Star alliance has us buzzing around like bees...

woot:!: :cool:

Okay I think I have cut and pasted right, so here goes. ONE WORLD JKT-HKG-SEL: Flight 1 SEL-NRT: Flight 2 NRT-LHR : Flight 3 - British Airways LHR-ATH : Flight 4 ATH-MAD : Flight 5 MAD-ZRH: Flight 6 ZRH-LHR-LAS : Flight 7 - British Airways LAS-ANC : Surface Sector ANC-DFW : Flight 8 DFW-SJO...

Good to know Air NZ comes up well. I think I made an absolute mess of the cutting and pasting. I'll have a better go soon and I will get it right :oops: Not starting with a surface sector with Option one just making our way to Tokyo under our own steam. yep we are Pretty sure thats my...

oops my bad the ANC-YVR is a land sector :oops:- I too wish it existed - my bad. Both the routes are legal. Moa - yep Option 1 is Star Alliance and 2 is One World :) Hawkeye - I knew about the ORD-ANC flight - but I am going to plug your suggestion into the booking tool and see what it...

Gosh on the odd occasions I have flown tiger I never expect them to be on time and always have a day spare either side. But 3 days - sheesh!

I have been working at this blasted holiday planning for so long, and I now have two contenders - woot :!: So now I have to choose - soon. Both are business class, and the trip is over 8 months so.. drumroll...which one would you choose... and why? Cookie on offer is not virtual, said...

:shock: Please dont feel you have to answer this one I have moved on with the plannng and am now up to the final stages!

Very close with the RTW star alliance itinerary and have a choice between these routes (Business Class) Can anyone help with which one is better, Singapore Airlines is 5 star carrier and seems to have better service although its a plant with old seating, but United has a "Suite Dreams" on this...

Hi Rae I you would have to confirm this, but I was told by Qantas today that if I booked a DONE3 departing overseas that they would use that rate as there is no equivalent in Australia Not sure if that helps you or not, but I just thought I should mention it :D

:) Ah ha this explains a lot qantas wanted to charge to change dates, but this would be a fee they charge then, rather than actually penalties like a change of route? So how come people dont buy on-line then and go with travel agents. Is it because of foregin currency transaction fees...

Wow thanks for all the quick replies - we tried the AA thing and no joy there. The travel agent is an idea. I can access the online booking system but am a little wary with the lack of support should stuff go wrong. Also we will not be completing the last sectors until Oct-Nov. So I...

Hoping someone can help I came up with a DONE4 from Vietnam, and have been having all sorts of trouble. My understanding is that you used to be able call AA, get the PNR and then pay for it using a credit card at the local AA office of the country the fare has the first flight from. So...

Theres a qantas lounge in Launceston - gosh! I had no idea, it would definetely be the nicest spot in the airport, the cafe there is just plan bad

thanks for the reply :D we are heading to KL using Air Asia and back using QFF reward flight (hopefully) I guess I could read the fine print on the asia airpass oneworld equivalent and see if that might qualify

Hi All I am hoping this is a quick question Is it possible to buy a RTW from Tokyo and get an Asia Airpass? We are looking at a RTW starting in Tokyo, but before that we have some time in Kuala Lumpur. Getting from KL to Tokyo appears to be more expensive than flying from Australia. In...

I really hope this is not monopolising the thread - just tell me if it is. My last post was about finding travel insurance and one that did not apply depreciation well I think I actually have found one - AAMI they have a 180 day maximum, but this can be extended This is actually an...

:shock: 700K in one day - now thats just being slack If you can't hit a million you just are not trying :lol:

Thanks for the reply the length of coverage seems to be OK - as long as I am prepared to pay the premium of course I have to check, but the definition of the trip start/finish seems to be on leaving Australia and on re-entry the gear is actually about 7 years old, but because its so darned...
