I would like to wind up somewhere that would be a good spot for issuing another rtw (5 continent in D) both in terms of lowest price and ease of issuing through a local travel agent or AA or other oneworld carrier office. I am aware of BA’s surcharges, so AA looks like a better choice for issuing carrier.
Asking forgiveness ahead of time for my ignorance, is there any way of finding out current rtw fares other than artificially making experimental bookings with the oneworld tool? I do have a subscription to expertflyer, but I don’t know how to find fares.
Any help or suggestions for routing would be much appreciated.
Expertflyer states on their fare information search screen that to do an around the world fare search you input the same city to get rtw fare information.
To perform an Around the World (RTW) fare search, use the same Departing and Arriving airport codes.
You might want to consider Cairo and issuing through the AA GSA Emeco. Information can be found at aa.com and on this forum.
