Silver san,

Yes, there indeed exists a fairly attractive joint RTW by CX/CO. A while ago, my agent in BKK quoted me the first class fare of about $3,500US. As CO does not have F class, J class fare should be around $3,000 or so, I think. I will get the current fare quote from my agent and will let you know ASAP.

Also out of HKG, according to the current Business Traveller magazine, CX/CO fare is quoted as HK$31,840. There is also AC/CX fare
of $29,480. Both are C class fare but these prices need to be checked carefully as the magazine is notorious for posting the rather outdated fare quotes. If you are interested, there should be CX/DL as well as CX/NZ RTW fares.

Guess, we are all looking for ex-BUD alternatives!
