BA: Circle Indian Ocean fare?
hey everyone,
i'm looking into flying africa-europe-australia-africa and had called AA about if there was a circle fare for just those 3 continents. they said i'd have to pass through Asia but then said that BA has its own circle fare called "Circle Indian Ocean Fare" that would suit my itinerary. I just called BA's RTW desk and the guy on the phone sounded like he just got hired there (he really didn't even know the most basic info on OW RTW). anyway, just wondering if anyone's ever heard of Circle Indian Ocean.
thanks!

Circle Indian Ocean fare
Maybe soneone along the way is getting things mixed up - there's an "Indian Ocean Pass" operated by Air Austral, Air Seychelles and Air Mauritius that gives discounts on itineraries of 3 or more inter-island flights between various Indian Ocean island groups (including Madagascar, Reunion and the Comoros) if you fly into the region on one of the 3 participating carriers. Not much use to OW flyers!

not quite if i'm correct about the fact that with circle trip explorer, in order to get from europe to australia i'd need to stop somewhere in asia, too. the only continents i need to fly are africa, europe and aus.
nevertheless i have a feeling the AA rep probably just handed me some misinformation
