Global explorer ex LHR Ticketed in GVA
Hello,
I was planning to buy a ticket ex-LHR in GVA but I read this rule on Fewmiles' site:
Does this mean I can not pay the lower ex-London price if I buy in Switzerland, and be doomed to spend 7 days in London to buy and get the ticket? Is it the same for OWE RTW?
Thanx & Sorry for the newbie questions

THE RESULTANT FARE MUST NOT BE LOWER THAN THAT FROM THE COUNTRY OF SALE.</font>

I think you have misread the prices. Fares are much cheaper ex-Switzerland than ex-UK. For example a Biz Class Global Explorer ex-UK is 4499. Ex-Switzerland the price is CHF7899. Converting this to GBP gives approx 3337.
