Rtw Ticket Price Comparison

Compare Rtw Ticket Prices

The Thorn Tree - Purchase of an RTW ticket from another state Each RTW ticket I buy (numerous) was sold in another land where the price is lower. Oneworld and Star Alliance now both have on-line booking and payment capabilities that allow you to schedule and reserve (and make payments for) RTW routes (and other Star, not Oneworld, products) and make payments on-line using a major payment method (credit card), while still receiving the Origin price.

According to the regulations, the price you paid is higher than the price of the origin OR the price at which the sales are made. If you buy an RTW ticket with Great Britain as your home destination but make payment in the USA (e.g. through a tourist agency), you will be billed the higher (US) prices.

This is overcome by the on-line debit cards via the alliances' web sites, which display the transactions concluded in the home state. Visit www.oneworld.com and www.staralliance.com for link to the onlinetools. Naturally you have to include the "access costs" (before and after) in the budgeting - since you come from South Africa, for example, you have to come to SA first in order to take the first air.

However, it should be noted that RTW passes, especially in luxury staterooms, usually earn enough FFP mileage to " afford " these journeys at the beginning and end. Go somewhere and take a vacation before you start your RTW. The RTW plane will take you somewhere else, stop and go on a trip, then go home for weeks/months, whatever - home is just a stop on the way.

Then when you get up, go somewhere else, then somewhere else, then back to the point of departure, then home. Given that the passes are valid for one year, you can save schedules for consideration of holiday homes or return to work, whatever. They are very diverse but full of regulations, so research is a good thing.
