Hi All,
I'm looking to get a RTW from Florida to Adelaide, Sydney, Bangkok, London and then home.

If I go onto the star alliance website and enter all the flights, it gives me a price of around $29,000 for two people!

A few years ago to used to be a fixed price, is that avaiable now?

Looking through this thread, I see ticket prices as low as $2600 for a RTW ticket.

Where is the best place to get a RTW ticket with star alliance?

I've looked at the spreadsheet, but don't understand the codes YRWSPCL, YRWSTAR1, YRWSTAR2, etc. What do they all mean and where do they come from?

Are there RTW companion fares available? I'm US Airways platinum and my wife is gold, if that makes any difference.

Has anybody got any experience of booking economy RTW and then upgrading at the airport or getting free upgrades due to gold status?

I hope all that made sense

Any advice gratefully received...
