I booked with a fellow Flyer Talk member SFTRVIR, you can see his post in this section. He is very fast and reliable.
He can help you and you can do a search on his handle and see the many post he has started and helped other flyer talk members with their tickets and routings.
I bought a RTW Biz ex-Seoul ICN last summer for around $5,300 (Star Alliance). Can anybody tell me what one costs ex-BKK???
US$4757 for 29000 mi, $5462 for 34K mi, $6409 for 39K (courtesy of WearyBizTrvlr's excellent spreadsheet, which you can find linked on the Star Alliance board.)

I priced out AMS to CMB on Singapore with some random dates and it prices out to Euro 3,800 which is not the worst but not free either. I went to United to price out the CMB to SFO and got some error message. My thought is a long vacation with these flights could be fun and rack up enough EQM to make 1k a lock. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
SQ doesn't blether much about its own RTW fares (or those in partnership with other airlines such as VS, CO or NZ.) However, for US originations, SQ's deal with VS at $4850 in J/C is quite appealing (no Oz apparently, not sure about S. Africa.) SQ metal only takes it to $5299 in C/J, good for a group of UA miles. Excellent prices, web reference here.

I hope this helps.

The agency is in USA and the price included all taxes.

I am mystified by this fare. AC flies none of those sectors. Could you please detail how this fare would work? It quotes in Apollo at USD1571.00.
Air Canada codeshares on NZ aircraft between LAX & SYD via AKL. Then, in SYD, connecting on OS to KUL. Fare is around 1900 USD one-way, a very attractive fare to get to the South Pacific in style (NZ business premier is quite nice).

And I just discovered something that is quite ironical. Air New Zealand metal is used for most of this fare, but this airline does not publish a LAX-KUL fare.
CCPSTAR is, similarly, circle pacific. Always makes me think of USSR (CCCP), though you can't get there on that particular fare.
Whoops, I shouldn't have included these - they did come up in the inquiry and I just copied and pasted.

I just played around with this. if you book lax-akl as a AC flight no in J, and then the rest AKL-SYD-KUL as NZ flight no's in D, you'll be able to price it...at least thats what amadeus is doing.....
1. CMB-LAX first (JL,TG,UA via North Pacific) *No HIP on UA
2. CMB-LAX first (UA,AA via South Pacific)
3. CMB-LAX business (TG via BKK-LAX nonstop)
4. BKK/HKT/KUL - LAX first (OZ)
5. LAX-IAD-TPA domestic first (UA)
6. LAX-EWR-ATL domestic first (CO)
7. LAX-LHR-BCN/MAD business (VS,UA,LH,AA) *No HIP on VS
8. LAX-AKL-SYD-KUL business (AC)
9. AMS-LHR-LAX business (VS)
10. CMB-LHR-SIN-LAX-YVR first (AA)
11. BRU-LHR-LAX business (BA)
12. JFK-LHR-SIN business (VS)
13. LAX-LHR-SIN first (BA)
Is this a purely NW RTW? No other airline allowed? What are the rules and can you price it online?
I found it online, all C or P (domestic) on NWA and KLM; it may be cheaper if you book it through a consolidator. EWR seems to be the cheapest US destination. Unlimited stopovers. Try other destinations in the US and then Europe; the price will usually go up, sometimes significantly. Please share if you can find cheaper results.
Note: from a MR perspective, a RT BKK-EWR is a better bet, as it yields virtually the same amount of miles (~21,000 without fancy routings) for about $400 less.

OS have reasonable VIE-CMB fares in C class.
