Hi
Try *A circle pacific (http://www.staralliance.com/star_alliance/star/content/pacific_fare.html).
Looks to be okay for you - requires stopover in Australia or NZ, up to 22k or 26k miles, and a few other conditions (see link).

I dont know how the price of the Circle Pacific compares with booking one-way sectors. Note that with NZ an AKL-LAX routing allows a free stopover in RAR.

Does anyone have contact details for travel agent in Fiji to buy international tickets.
I will arrive from Tuvalu and would like some help to find a reasonable agent. I want to buy a Star RTW ticket 39,000 miles.
Any idea how much in Fiji?

Hi Gold Member
Welcome to Flyertalk http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif. I'd recommend the Air New Zealand Travelcenter (either in Nadi or Suva) for tickets. There are other, local TA's who might be able to get you a slightly better price, but might not be so hassle-free. I'm flying back to Fiji today so let me know if I can help you from there.
Cheers, Zac

Hi Gold,
The standard price for a RTWSTAR3 (39,000mpm) originating in Fiji is FJD$4600.00 (at today's exchange rate, that's approx USD$2685 or NZ$4120).
This compares to NZD$4499 for a STAR3 originating in New Zealand, so it is a little cheaper - however, the Fijian dollar seems to be one of the more volatile Pacific currencies (NZ$1 was FJ$0.99 the last time I was there, I'm sure, and that was only about a year and a half ago) so YMMV.
Edited to add: If you're flying from Funafuti, I'd assume you'll be in Suva first - the Air NZ Travelcentre there is in the Queensland Insurance Centre on Victoria Parade, and is open 9-5 Mon-Fri and 9-12 on Sat. If you're heading to Nadi, the Travelcentre is located at Nadi Airport.
