We (x 3) are about to embark on our second RTW using the Lufthansa deal offered by Roundabout (I'm not affiliated with them in any way). All up, I paid about $6450 per person for Flights on Qantas, Air NZ, Lufthansa, Swiss, and Singapore. FWIW, I think it's great value although be prepared to organise it well in advance since you'll also need to make your own way on a few occasions via separate arrangements. If you do, those banked miles / points sure come in handy. Last time we did this fare was in 2010-11 and the fare included QF A380 SYD to LAX. You can still do this but it bumps up the price a bit.we haven't done Air New Zealand J class before so we decided it would be a new J experience albeit involves a minor diversion through Auckland. Lufthansa were excellent and really came to the rescue for us when we were stranded in Paris due to snowstorms. I believe they handled us extra gently because of our revenue fare status and essentially agreed for us to spent what we needed over the 3 days until the conditions eased and flights resumed. About a month later I submitted receipts to Lufthansa after returning to Sydney and the whole transaction was handled smoothly and efficiently by the airline. After that, I was sold and we're looking forward to doing it again end of this month.
