Urggh the one time I want a RTW out of CAI

I assume that means even a TA can't book one?

I guess the next best option is to hop to ALG for ~$300 economy and start from there. What a pain!

I don't have access to EF these days, but I can safely say that it will be somewhere in the range "Expensive" to "Very Expensive Indeed", probably towards the top end!

On the other hand, Circle Pacific fares out of HKG are still pretty decent, e.g. DCIR22 at US$5241 and DCIR26 at $6394. Both are cheaper than their Japanese equivalents by several hundred dollars.

I suspect there are a few business travellers based in HKG and regularly visiting US and Europe before returning to HKG.

If there are choices about where to buy from, also any advice?
Thanks

Welcome to FT and the OneWorld forums, Ravenswell! fares are no longer published on the OneWorld web site, because the final price depends on the specific airports, countries, and airlines. You can get base fares from ExpertFlyer or the KVS tool. For example, an ex-NRT DCIR22 has a base fare of $6,024 USD. Taxes, fuel surcharges, etc. are extra.

Many people prefer to purchase from AA because the RTW desk is usually pretty good. Others may prefer to buy from CX because it can be arranged by email. Likely some airlines will charge more or less for fuel surcharges, but I don't know for sure which might be cheaper.

And if looking to plan one of these yourself a EF/KVS subscription is frankly necessary so you can see easily which flights have availability in the right fare class.

reading the news that Iran currency is plunging, but it does not seem to have any fare ex IKA...

IST is getting a better pricing too due to the currency trouble
