HI there
In the light of the huge hikes in A RTW fares ex Middle East am looking at starting in SA in JNB ....
Whole different ball game by the looks of things

Have tried a few routings on the OW online booking tool and they are all quoting a base fare of 110,000 Rands - rather than the 83.800 I had expected as quoted on ExpertFlyer.
Is this just another of those online tool bugs ....???


And I'm looking at the following as I believe you can travel through Europe twice as long as no stopover on one of them and if you are en route to certain countries

JNBxLHRxMCTxLHR-MEL-WLG-SYD-HKG-JFK-LAX-ORD-MIA-BDA-MIAxLHR-NBO

I think that's a valid AONE5 but maybe I'm missing something

And any thoughts on maxing the mileage further.

My next issue is how to get it ticketed on the correct fare if the online tool won't come up with it - yet again - i've had enough trouble with it ex AMM in the past!

Is the best route the AA RTW desk even though the initial carrier will be BA and get them to quote the ex JNB price and then ticket through Canadian TA?

Thanks for any help !!!
