Roundabout travel and airfare geeks have provided us several years of good service. But with the high airfares I have started looking at starting in an Asian city, too. Found a cheap first class return from BKK to ZRH on Swiss.

Be aware of the affects of the severe heat wave that is over the Mediterranean, it has affected our daily activities.

We are seasoned frequent RTW traveller’s but this is my first travel post. We work with RoundAboutTravel about nine months ahead, to get the best dates and price for business. Good, bad or indifferent we are Miles&More traveller’s with Star Alliance. We enjoy Europe as a base as we have many...

Hi, We traveled to Munich, Milan, Zurich and San Francisco for Christmas and New Year. We are in our 70's and had no fear of traveling in Europe. Just be aware of where you are, stop in Zurich first to get their digital Covid pass and have fun.

We completed a trip in December 2021 to Munich, Milan, Zurich and San Francisco to visit family and friends for Christmas/New Years. In Germany and Italy our International certificate was accepted, but QR code could not be read.Recommend having a hard copy, as the digital copy was not always...

I am Elite with ANZ, booked in PE and was immediately upgraded to J with my recognition. Departure from SYD was quick and easy. The only negative for me was the late arrival in AKL, would rather arrived earlier in the afternoon. J is only available on their 787 aircraft. As NZ has a lot of...

You will have a great time! In June 2019 we bicycled 350km of the Norte trail. We are retired (70+) and also felt private accomodation would be more attuned to our lifestyle, though we did use a monastery for two nights.

Hi, I am off to Manus Island to help Vinnies and visit the refugees. I could use one for the long layover when I return on 22 Jan. Thanks, Bill

We are departing LED on SAS J-class, we have Star Alliance Gold with Lufthansa and Air New Zealand. Our members need to know SAS does not have lounge access at St Petersburg, RU. Other Star Alliance members have access, but because we are on an SAS ticket, other Star Alliance Gold cards will...

I know I am a bit late, but is their a chance? Cheers,

I would like to nominated Contentious Characters Winery(formerly Lambert's) in Wamboin. Excellent food, wine and atmosphere.

Excellent, we give ours to them also.

Zurich is one of our favourite cities, we stop there 2-3 times a year. You did not mention any of the fantastic museums Zurich offers, the Landsmuseum, near the Bahnhof will take a lot of time to explore. Then there is a cruse of the lake.

We regularly purchase alcohol at AKL Duty Free and carry it onto the flight to SYD, and not sealed in a customs bag. We just returned from Zurich, through Hong Kong. In Zurich Duty Free I purchased a nice scotch, they sealed it in a customs bag. In Hong Kong we passed through the first...

I am Elite with Air NZ and am very happy with their long-haul 777 J-class seating and service. I needed to make an unexpected, emergency trip. As it is the Easter school holidays prices were not favourable for a next day, cheap seat, for giggles I looked at United, expecting to see 175K one way...

Chiming in to mention that my first UA flight from SYD-LAX-SMF with return tomorrow, was better than expected in J. It was my first experience with the 787 and was impressed with the aircraft, but not with the 2-2-2 seating. The bulkhead seat guy needed to climb over me, next time sit in the...

I would agree with waiting for their 100% bonus.

As retirees, we are ticking off our bucket list places to visit through twice yearly around the world trips. We remain loyal to Star Alliance and one of their member airlines. We have found the accumulated points have allowed us points travel, in J-class, from SYD in and around Asia. Status...

We have booked several J flights with Roundabout Travel using the Star Alliance network. Their staff is very helpful.

I have since found that. I wanted others to be aware of this hidden danger if you are after status. Thanks highlighting where to look.
