Two stopovers allowed in the US, no HIP.

NZ codeshares on AKL-SFO/LAX-AKL or go via SYD for a little more. D class is upgradeable with SWU.

6 day min/90 day max stay.

This gives automatic *G in various programs including BD and AC.
Thanks for clarifying. That is the normal fare. The NZD has just fallen so far against USD in the past year.

There are also fares similar or less in business NZ to Europe on several airlines.

Seems to match pretty closely to the AC summer fares to Europe which are $999++ CDN each way from YYZ/YUL/YOW to most of Western Europe including Italy. Departures are from July to August and requires round trip and Saturday stay.

I bought the deal JNB-EZE for 3200 E all in 3 weeks ago.

The current fare remains for MH in First.

Otherwise It's gonna be tougher to find deals like we used to have (airlines are watching us).

By the way what's the best fare in F for a RTW with star or OW ? I knew MNL-MNL for 6000 e all in but it's over.

AFAIK, no MPM on the F rules to EZE, according to KVS:

([HIP/MILEAGE EXCEPTIONS]
NO HIP OR MILEAGE EXCEPTIONS APPLY.)

I have bought this fare yet.

You misread it. That means no exceptions so MPM does apply.@:-)

Thank you, I don't misread but it was the only point mentionning HIP and MPM in the fare rules.
But I have bought this fare, and no mention about limitation of MPM in the fare rules...
So, where is the MPM information in this fare?

MPM is not in the fare usually, but in a separate routing file.

The fares you are referring to are YY fares. They will have an MPM associated with them, which will not permit transit via Europe. The JNB-EZE MPM is 6082. The only viable option in C/F is MH JNB-CPT-EZE.

VS (CPT/JNB)-LHR-HKG-LHR-(CPT/JNB) 2123 All in

This fare might appeal to Londoners:

VS (CPT/JNB)-LHR-HKG-LHR-(CPT/JNB) 2123 All in - Upper Class

Fare allows for two stopovers, so can break the journey at LHR in both directions. You'll have to pay the extra APD for that though, which will add 160+ depending on when you travel.

You don't need to worry about MPM since you've ticketed already. It should be honored even if ticketed by mistake. What is your routing?
