round the world

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to get the Star Alliance RTW ticket to find certain flights. SYD - SFO (leaving 2 Nov) SFO - NYC (leaving 17 Nov) - or can leave this off as a land sector MIA (or NYC or any US airport) - CPT (can be JNB if needed) (14/15 Dec) This is the sector...

Today I embark on a First Class Oneworld Award that has been in planning for a few months. The purpose of this trip was to fly as much as possible in F and J, and to go to Iceland (because why not) and to Washington (to visit a mate). I have managed to get the following itinerary: Not...

Classic Plus is not eligible for an OWA itinerary. Its rare to get more than 2 J award seats so assuming it's 2 adults and a child, one adult may need to fly on different flights to find availability.

I contacted the Qantas account on Twitter to try to change my RTW ticket, but the agent I spoke with today told me that the Qantas system couldn't find any available JL flights for rebooking unless making a new booking. This is a common issue I encounter when speaking with Qantas phone agents as...

I bought cheap RTW ticket starts from CAI, marketed by Qantas and the journey is already half way done. Yesterday I called Qantas to make some change to my bookings and then they did reprice and tell me they'll need to charge 125USD for changing fee and refund 55AUD for differences between...

A work trip came up, and I was able to combine this with a trip to Europe that I had planned to form a oneworld RTW itinerary (DGLOB34). This is my first time flying on an RTW-type ticket (although technically not the first time flying round-the-world on one trip). Due to the work commitments...

Currently on a Oneworld RTW reward booking and a few legs have been flown. Made some date changes to onward legs, which Qantas took payment for. No e-ticket issued after multiple follow up calls. Latest call the agent said cannot reissue as the date changes were not allowed??? Now no onward...

Greetings everyone, I am hoping someone would kindly assist me with some advice on points allocation for a RTW Star Alliance trip, especially which FF Program I should link to the trip? I am travelling Turkish, Lufthansa, Air Canada and United (in this order) and have been told all are in D...

I've struggled to find an answer for this online or in the oneworld clue sheet, and I was wondering if anyone here knows. Maybe this is common knowledge to how these terms are defined that I just don't know. I currently have a DGLOB34 booked for March, and I'm looking to make some changes to...

Overwhelmed on which airline to nominate for ff points on RWT. I have just flown Qatar from Brisbane Doha Madrid and return - economy and allocated Qatar Avios points as can be used for qantas. Have now booked RTW Business with Turkish airlines from Bris Singapore Istanbul Vancouver and return...

I am researching the star alliance RTW fares (not leaving until Feb 2025) and understand if I book in first class and have to do J when first is not available then it is all first class pricing (points) regardless. My question is if anyone has done the first class RTW, had to do some sectors in...

Hi Brains Trust, I have booked a RTW Business Class Classic Reward Flight (not the 1st time), when I made the booking it was capped at 318,000 per person, now that I want to add some additional flights and now Qantas want to charge me a additional 540,000 points plus fees and taxes. Is this...

Hi Experts , We are planning to buy the RTW business class tickets for Sep/Oct 2024. We have checked different options from Australia and the price for pax is around 13K AUD. Are there any nearby destinations/ports where we could commence the RTW journey to reduce the price. Any...

Hi AFF. My wife and I are two thirds through our RTW holiday and have come across a stumbling block with Singapore Airline's baggage policy. We have booked a Lufthansa business class RTW ticket but our last flight is an SQ ticketed flight (but part of the RTW flights) from SIN to BNE and it...

I've just tried to book a 2 RTW business class tickets at the SQ call centre. I'd built an itinerary on the Star Alliance website and checked that all selected flights had points availability with UA MileagePlus. All seemed fine. After going through all the details with the call centre guy...

I've been looking through to see if other threads cover this but unfortunately haven't been successful. Looking at a RTW itinerary for departure in mid 2024 (may) for a year long trip through Europe UK Caribbean USA and Canada - what is the best plan for booking RTW revenue tickets as the 2nd...

Im planning a Business Class RTW trip through Qantas/One World. At this stage I dont know when I will return, do I need to book my return date when making the initial booking?

Long time lurker here, wanted to share the process of planning and booking a oneworld round the world ticket to help others as it can be complex. The background is I'm moving to HKG soon, and yearly HKG-MEL-HKG trips back home is going to be on the table. After a bit of research here and on...
