Premium RTW or RT US to Europe + Africa
I have been shopping for a discounted First or Business trip (or RTW) from west coast US to South Africa in 3/07, via Europe or Asia, followed by a one month stop in Europe, returning to US in 5/07.
So far, I'm not getting much response on discounted fares, even from people who advertise on this site. I've probably contacted 12+ companies who advertise these fares, and have had only 3 responses. A $9K RTW or RT is more than we wish to spend (looking for $4-5K/person). Someone told us they won't have next year's discounted fare info until later.
Any suggestions, or directions to look in, would be much appreciated.
BTW, we're open to carriers, although we don't want to go on african or middle eastern carriers (although SAA would be okay). We'd like to accrue miles, but since we're only HA premium (which would be Virgin), we're open in that regard too.
Finally, please forgive if I've posted to incorrect forum, as I wasn't sure where else to post.
Thank you.
