I did RTW from Singapore. SIN-SFO with Singapore Airlines. SFO-YYZ Air Canada YUL-LYS Air Canada LYS-MUC Lufthansa MUC-PRGH Lufthansa IST-SIN Singapore Airlines. Other sectors were land based and a mixture of trains/coaches.

Yes they are. I booked with KrisFlyer in September for July and August next year. Visiting USA, Canada, France, Germany, Czech Republic and Turkey. Two business class RTW. Hoping that the Covid testing regime is not too strict as some cities we only plan to visit for three nights!

SIA website for me currently offers Turkish Airlines from IST to SIN in alternative airlines. United website certainly lists available Eva Air. It depends on when you are flying and on what routes. What is of more concern to me at present is that the Star Alliance RTW planner is not listing any...

Sorry but Krisflyer staff did insist on this. The only way around it if you think you will miss earlier leg seats is to book the real fights for the start of your trip when available and use earlier dummy dates for the last leg(s) and then when seats for the later flights become available ring...

Yes, your initial proposed routing at 32,759 miles falls within the 33,000 limit but you are correct - there is back tracking. Specifically CPT to ATH is NE (you are travelling in a westerly direction) and also IAH to SCL is SE. It's better to go from SA to NA if you can. Maybe AMS to GIG then...

Well done. I was never able to get SIA to agree to us going through Singapore twice - it is a shame that SIS call centre staff cannot all follow the same rules! With your flight from Los Angeles to New York which I see is going via Nashville, the likelihood of business saver availability with...

OK - probably not a good idea to share your itinerary on a public forum as maybe someone can access it and change it? But this Star Alliance tool is for RTW fares, not just a tool for award bookings. And just because it works in this does not mean it complies with the award rules as set out at...

Yes, seat selection with KrisFlyer RTW is more time-consuming than a Qantas One World RTW. With the latter the call centre operator was able to get us seat allocations for all flights on one call. Not sure why seat selection would be dodgy - I just booked great seats 10 months ahead. But before...

I had a look at your proposed route using the United airlines site. You say your first leg is from Melbourne to Tokyo. I cannot find a direct flight, just ones going through BKK. Which of course buggers up the requirement to either fly constantly West or East. Have you checked out all flight...

Great discussion and tips. Thank you all. I booked our first Star Alliance RTW yesterday. (Did a OneWorld RTW business in 2018.) Fortunately transferred enough velocity points in November/December last year before the transfer devaluation so had 480,000 KrisFlyer miles available.No longer need...

Great idea to have this discussion. I am about to book a RTW business class for my wife and I between August and October 2020. The Singapore Airlines call centre is quite helpful although some consultants know more than others. Is it just the carrier imposed surcharge by other airlines that you...
