Hi SBD, I am director of RoundAbout Travel and happy to reply to the query. That announcement of our new brands just went out to clients who had previously enquired with RoundAbout Travel about business class round the world airfares and set up an account with us. This could have been a couple...

Hey all, Just received latest SQ update. Child fares are as of today 50% instead of 75% to Asia and Europe. Also received a new D class RT nett fare to... AMS/ATH/BCN/ CPH/CDG/DME/ FCO/FRA/IST/ LHR/MAN/MXP/ZRH Ticketing to 31 March, departures to 20 Nov. for $7840 plus tax. M.A.T.

depends on your time of year but u can get that EY deal for $1942 in low season with taxes. thats about the cheapest on the market and offers great connections thru abu dhabi to paris with in seat entertainment etc. they are a 5* rated airline. air austral would be the other way to look at...

this doesnt really answer your question but nonetheless, in my book Etihad have the best value fares to PAR. they are published levels so you should get the same price on the etihad website as any other website or a TA. TA's are unlikely to mark up/charge a service fee for EY as they pay decent...

wow that's v interesting. OW r pretty full on with telling us that all bookings had to be created on 1 feb but obviously they couldn't be bothered working over the weekend loading in the fares :)

they dont count the global explorer fare as a oneworld fare as it has non-oneworld members. quoting an email from BA sales rep 10 days ago where i got the initial inside tip from...note the global customers comment so yes definately from all ports... 'To celebrate the 10th anniversary oneworld...

its a very easy way to create a new booking, its as simple as a 10 letter input into a CRS. however, there does have to be availability but F and D class availability is pretty open with most airlines reporting 15-17% downward trends since october. note that not all OW products are on sale...

yeah currently on about 20% of their planes so its pot luck...their new business class is still 5 yrs behind other airlines. even then u still get the burly old bitties for hosties who are the only US based service people to be in a service job but not get tips so they take it out on the...

That's not quite right, the surcharge only exists if you are in business or first class. Spewing you'll miss out on the A380! quick call them and get them to change it before it gets ticketed! u could have got it for $3400... :) -Air NZ via AKL is much more comfy than UA via Syd...just having...

UA fly MEL - LAX as a direct flight number but it transits via Syd. that shaves off miles but the easier way is to make own arrangements BHX - PAR and that way you can fly Air NZ who are much much better than UA. saying that MEL LAX on UA is 7944 miles, MEL AKL LAX is 8165 so it still wouldnt...

as a travel agent these fares really annoy me. the reason they do it is to pay us no commission, us, Best Flights, Zuji, Expedia whoever it is we all get paid the same way. basically MH pay a 7% comm on the fare, so if it's $160 we get paid $11 to do the booking. unless i can do it in about 20...

as long as you did this route and made your own way from BHX - PAR [LCC?] then u can get it under 26k miles which shaves off $500. route would be MEL AKL LAX [NZ] LAX BOS [UA] BOS NYC [UA] NYC PHL [US] PHL BHX [US] surfare to PAR PAR SIN MEL [SQ] we can do it for you for $3447 with taxes but...

takes 5 mins if you know what you are doing what's your route?

iv recently been contacted by Star Alliance [well their Singapore Airlines rep] who are offering us some exclusive discounted fares for upcoming travel expos...but we dont get the rates till the day before and ticketing must be done inside a week.....so if you are stuck with STAR and cant ticket...

Re: Impending Star Alliance Rtw Fare Increase yeah but u can still get less than that, at the end of the day its a oneworld planner but fully commissioned by qantas so they are issuing the ticket. if u use a consolidator we have the choice on who to plate the ticket to. as u say though, the...

Re: Impending Star Alliance Rtw Fare Increase good call Mel. I wouldnt be using that engine if it was me as you pay the top price for taxes and fuel, although being the director of a competing company would make me say that :) qantas dont want u to issue the ticket to CX, AY, LA, AA etc...

it would appear they still work on commission like the other big boys. so when they say their 'best flights fee' that screams to me that its the commission of the agent and the ticketing fee is the actual airline cancellation fee. alternatively it could be the other way around but id say that is...

Re: Impending Star Alliance Rtw Fare Increase Ok well here is the scoop. Continent based OneWorld round the worlds go on sale from 1 Feb for 10 weeks, in conjunction with OW's 10th anniversary. Have a guess at the percentage off discount?? :) This means you can get a 4 continent RTW with up to...

the star special fare is up until 31 jan, $2729 + tax. after 1 Feb it is $3611!!! huge increase. we are offering $100 off for people who preregister on our site. happy to answer any other q's.
