Star Alliance - RTW pricing discrepancy?View Full Version : RTW pricing discrepancy? andreiz Jul 17, 12, 10:50 am I am in the very early stages of planning a RTW trip. I checked Wandering Aramean's RTW fare pricing tool and it says that CRWSTAR1 ex-CPH is $6389. However, when I price out a simple CPH-FRA-SFO-NRT-BKK-CDG-CPH itinerary on *A website, it says that the estimated price is 8,222 USD (plus taxes). Is this because the site uses LH as the booking engine? Jasper2009 Jul 17, 12, 12:16 pm I am in the very early stages of planning a RTW trip.

Is this because the site uses LH as the booking engine? The fares ex-CPH were recently increased by 20%-30%, so itīs no longer worth it to start there. I believe sbm12īs RTW pricing tool is only updated every now and then, so discrepancies are possible. andreiz Jul 17, 12, 12:34 pm Any way to get the updated list of cities with the lowest RTW fares? zrs70 Jul 18, 12, 11:14 pm I use expertflyer, but I have not created a matrix. ICN (7500) and NRT (7800) are still below most other cities. I believe PRG (7900) is still a better deal as well. henry999 Nov 8, 12, 6:56 am I use expertflyer, but I have not created a matrix.

I believe PRG (7900) is still a better deal as well.PRG must have gone up too, as the base for a CRWSTAR1 is now quoted on the *A tool as CZK 168,795 which is over US$8500. cheers, Henry |
