It has recently come to my attention that oneworld has removed most of their multi continent fares and visit trips, leaving just the xONEx (continent based RTW), xGLOBnn (distance based RTW) and xCIRnn (distance based circle Pacific).
Since 2010, I've taken a yearly DAS13 (Circle Asia/SWP) combined with DONE3 for my main holiday. The removal of the xASnn fare product will have a major impact on my holiday plans going forward.
I used the DAS13 to position from AU to JP or KR to start the DONE3 and cover 1 to 3 of the stopovers of the holiday.
I could get an ex-AU DONE4 for around the same price of the combined ex-AU DAS13+ex-JP DONE3, but that would be fewer flights and be more restrictive on the Asian part of the trip (and be harder to maintain status).
The DAS13 allowed for up to 8 flights within a 13,000 mile limit covering the following regions
North East Asia - Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea
South East Asia - Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Brunei
South West Pacific - Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea
The Circle Asia part of my trips to date have been:
CBR-SYD-NRT/HND-ITM-NRT-SIN-PER-MEL-CBR
CBR-SYD-NRT-ITM-NRT-ICN-HKG-SIN-MEL-CBR
SYD-NRT/HND-ITM/KIX-TPE-HKG-KUL-SIN-BNE-CBR
CBR-SYD-NRT/HND-ITM-HND-SIN-MEL-CBR
CBR-SYD-HND-ITM-HND-SIN-MEL-CBR
CBR-SYD-HND-TSA/TPE-HKG-SIN-MEL-CBR
Can anyone think of something that could replace the Circle Asia/SWP fare?
