Here's my situation:
I am in Spain at the moment.
Must be in Buenos Aires by November 5th.
Must be back in Spain for Christmas
Want to return back to south america in early January.
From there, I want to keep going west via Easter Island.
Here's the full route:
Barcelona - Buenos Aires - Barcelona - Buenos Aires - Santiago Chile - Easter Island - French Polynesia - Auckland - Sydney - Barcelona
Can this be done on a single global explorer ticket? Do you think it'd make sense? Or should I buy one or two legs separately (first legs), and start the RTW at some point later in the route?
And second question, I'm really struggling to get an up to date list of fares for global explorer, including several origination points. If you could refer me to the current pricing, I'd be forever grateful!
Thanks a lot!!!
Hi and welcome to FT!
No, it can't be done on a single GlobEx ticket. You can't backtrack across the Atlantic as you're showing. You'd need to purchase a separate return trip from Barcelona to BsAs, then start the RTW once you're able to continue on a constant east-to-west or west-to-east route.
As to current pricing, it's most important to know whether you're planning to travel in economy or business class. The cost differential from one origin point to another is much more significant in business class than in economy. Finding GlobEx prices is difficult; you really need access to a couple of subscription websites (such as ExpertFlyer) to get these easily. We can help a little, but only if you clarify your plans on cabin preference.
