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...

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...

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...

Recently finished a Lufthansa flight from Bangkok to Lisbon in business on a "P" fare code. While this is a discounted business seat, Air New Zealand will not give you any sort of credit from this Star Alliance member. If you are after status credit with ANZ, watch the fare code of the ticket...

Hi, We are off to Lisbon in June, via a Swiss round the world ticket. We have an ABnB in Lisbon for a few nights and plan to rent a car to explore. What are your favourite stops and why? Thanks in advance.

We spent two weeks on an island stopped in time. Other than an increasing number of charter flights from the US, you cannot book a ticket to Cuba that includes a stop in the US. As we needed to make a stop in San Francisco, A separate booking to reach Havana, we used Aeromexico. Mexico City...

We have booked an SYD-LHR flight in the new PE seats. Not all of the 380/777s will have the new seats and will cause us to have an 11hr layover in SIN on the way back. SQ has blocked use of United and ANZ points to upgrade on 380/777s. Which I would like to use to catch a better connection...

Hi all, One of our bucket stops is Cuba, but we also need to stop in SF. A ticket cannot include both countries. My plan is to stop in Mexico City and have a separate ticket to Cuba, but does anyone have a better suggestion? Thanks,

We caught the SYD-AKL ANZ 787 flight and it was the first time my wife did not experience a issue with her ears. They pressurize at a lower altitude, making the overall flight more comfortable. Also noted there were no window shades, there is an electronic dimmer for the window...amazing. On...

Lived in Europe for 15 years, but never visited Spain. We were told our 10 days in Barcelona would be to much, we ran out of time and did not see everything on our list. The only trip outside of the city was to Monsurat. It is a vibrant city with much to offer. If you are going their, take...

At the beginning of December we will spend 10 days in Barcelona. Normally a Summer destination, we are tacking it onto a Christmas trip to Munich. Any tips for Barcelona at that time of year? Thnak you,
