Help with EK/UA RTW
Hi all,
I used to fly this RTW all the time but gave up on UA after their service level declined. Unfortunately, I have to get to PEK rather quickly and make some stops that appear to be well served by EK. I'm not sure if this is the right fare to buy but it certainly seems more cost effective than a *RTW.
Please take a look at my routeing and see what I can do to maximise usage of these two carriers.

Jan 2 PEK-BKK
Jan 4 BKK-BOM
Jan 8 BOM-DXB
Jan11 DXB-GVA

How much does this price at ? Have you compared it to a Star Alliance RTW ???
