Also is there information on how the pricing works for RTW? Is it a combination of
`Base Fare × Starting city multiplier × miles flown × stopovers + taxes`?
Or specific airlines / routes cost more than others for example, is NRT->ZRH with Swiss is more expensive than ICN->MUC with Lufthansa? Is it affected because some airlines have price their tickets with low fare but very high fuel surcharges?
You can download a current version of the full fare rules
here.
There is a base fare depending on the country the RTW is originating from, the cabin class and the amount of miles required for your itinerary (26,000 / 29,000 / 34,000 / 39,000).
On top of the base fare you will have to pay taxes, fees and fuel surcharges which depend on the airports you are visiting and the airlines you are taking.
The fare class on RTW tickets is determined by the fare rules. How many status miles and redeemable miles you will get for these tickets will solely depend on the program you intend to credit these flights to. We can give you more detailed information if you tell us which program you have in mind.
If you book codeshare flights as part of your RTW ticket, the accrual will likely depend on the booking class the codeshare booking class is mapped into of the operating airline.
