Star Alliance - What country has best fares for RTW F routing

Ive been checking for the country that has the cheapest RTW fare. I've found that Korea is almost $7000 less then if issued in US, CAN or EUROPE. Does anyone know if there are even cheaper countries then S. Korea?

The last time i checked South Africa and Namibia had pretty good fares, but likely more expensive to get there than Korea or Japan (which also was good).

pm BrewerSEA I remember reading one of his trip reports where he talked about this. it was saudi arabia i believe?

Saudi Arabia is quite expensive. South Africa much cheaper.

Do you know how up to date the tool is. I was checking FRWSTAR3 as an example. In the KVS tool PRG is 20544 USD, the tool has it at 15376 USD.

The tool is quite accurate for most countries IME, however fares ex-CPH and ex-PRG increased ~30% a few weeks ago.

Pls. be careful, this tool is outdated since several months already per today, Oct. 26, 2012. It just gives ideas from what departure country you could expect more attractive fares.

You need to check the fare yourself with the *A RTW booking engine.

MRU seems to be the cheapest as of late August: http://skytravelagent.de/index.php?id=108

Yeah, the data is a bit old right now. I'm working on updating it.

That would be really helpful! ^

I looked quite often into your tool and thanks to your information once picked CPH as a CRTW starting point before the fare was increased by about 20%. Before that I used the RTW booking engine to pick starting points which are located close to my usual routes.
