Just registered. Bit intimidated by the knowledge here. Makes my Travel Agent look like a beginner. Family of 5 going rtw traveling from Toronto to Ecuador, Samoa, Fiji, Auckland, Brisbane, Joberg, Toronto. According to my agent this means OneWorld: yyz-uio-sti-akl-bne-jnb-lhr-yyz. It also means separate flights at additional cost from NZ back to Apia then on to Nandi before continuing. Furthermore, returning to Toronto from Joberg has to be via London adding a 5th continent to the fare. Is this what you would do? To add insult to injury, my Diners Club card accrues points on a Star Alliance carrier while my credit card points may be transferred to BA.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. Be gentle.
