If anybody is wondering about the RTW Skyteam fares theses days- I tried googling around but it pulls up all very old information, and the fares have apparently gone up a lot.
I called the DL Diamond desk today, who transferred me to the RTW revenue (as opposed to RTW mileage ticket) desk. The base fares now are:
Up to 29,000 miles (which is the lowest one she could book from the USA), $4,569 coach, $8,800 business, for originating in USA. I'm looking for business class, and I didn't have much luck having her try it from historically cheaper airports in Asia. She said that she could only price it from USA airports. Does anyone know where I can get a current rate from other airports (like from a travel agency that does a lot of RTWs)? I travel to Asia 1-3 times per year, and it's not much farther to come back through Europe so really the "starting" airport is of little importance to me.
