Hi Folks;

We'll be flying a Circle Pacific 26K ticket (originating in HKG) later this year.

Full Itin is

(Nov 2014) HKG-DFW(x)-MCO(x)-DFW-ELP(x)-DFW-OGG(x) (HA to HNL) and then return to Perth HNL-SYD-PER(x) - and in Jul 2015 complete the trip with a PER-HKG (and start our next CIRCP26!).

My question - I recall the ability to add segments to RTW - and possibly xONEx tickets called "Discover America" or "Discover Australia" - where you could add flights in country, pretty cheaply. I recall one of the caveats was - you needed to purchase these "Discover" tickets before your travels started, and needed to be purchased outside of intended country (e.g. for my Discover America, I purchased them while in Australia before the trip started).

I've done some searching in this forum; as well as Google - but can't seem to find any recent reference to this type of ticket.

I'll probably call the RTW desk this weekend -- (Fri USA time) - but thought I'd also ask my fellow travellers for their thoughts/experience).

I'm interested in adding some "Discover Australia" segments (ideally in Business, - our CIRCP is in Business)

o - Is it still possible to purchase these "Discover Australia" type
segments/tickets?

o - Do they count towards the 16 segment limit? or are they "above and beyond" with no limit?

o - Any idea of what the cost is (or was recently) for each segment? I recall - many years ago, that coach segments were like $150 or, regardless of distance (I added a "Discover America" set of segments - and did a JFK/LAX and LAX/MIA on a RTW ticket, each was about $150, and used my AA EXP status to stand by for upgrades)

Thanks for your thoughts/assistance!
