As the subject says, the LX RTW Business fare doesn't show up in a fare search with either KVStool or on Expertflyer.com?

We are keen to use the fare but I don't have fare rules? Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Barrie

Are you referring to the *A RTW Fares, published by LX, or some other LX RTW Fares?

If it's the latter, can you please provide some details of that Fare including origin point(s)?

The LX fare is actually a point to point fare. Same for the LH fares.

Search by the european city you want to arrive in ie. SYD/BCN.

Re: Wondering why the Swiss RTW fare does't show up in KVStool or Expertflyer fare se

Sorry, this is a question about a cheap international airfare but I am still confused.

LX have a SYD/ZRH fare for

[KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0/Diamond - Galileo: Fares/PSH/RU]


SYD Sydney Kingsford Smith NS AU [YSSY]
ZRH Zurich CH [LSZH]
R/T 01 Dec 2011 | Business




LX SYD ZRH 6070 AUD 360 ZICSWIAU

Which is cheap. The TA says we can come home via the US on UA but I can't see how the fare rules allow travel to region 1?

Cheers,
Barrie

There are cheaper Fares also available (some of which can only be sold by LX directly):

1. SYD-JL/QF-TYO-ZRH
2. SYD-QF-ADL/ASP/BNE/CBR/CNS/DRW/HBA/MEL/PER-JL/QF-TYO-ZRH

/VIA THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC/
1. SYD-AC/QF/UA-DFW/LAX/SFO/YVR-CHI/NYC/YMQ/YTO-ZRH
2. SYD-AC/QF/UA-DFW/LAX/SFO/YVR-CHI/TPA/YMQ/YTO-ZRH
3. SYD-AC/QF/UA-DFW/LAX/SFO/YVR-NYC-GVA-ZRH
4. SYD-QF-BUE-JJ/LX-SAO-ZRH
5. SYD-QF-BUE/SCL-JJ/LX-SAO-ZRH
