Comments on my Global Explorer RTW?
 

Hello,

I'd appreciate any comment (improvements, errors in my possible routes, other alliances better for this route,...) on my Global explorer 34K miles I am about to book. I don't do it for the miles by the way.
The total miles for this trip is ~32500:

LHR-YUL (BA)
YUL-MIA (AA)
MIA-UIO (AA)
UIO-LIM (LA)
LIM-LAX (LA)
LAX-APW (PH)
APW-TBU (PH)
TBU-AKL (PH)
AKL-SYD (QF)
SYD-SGN (QF)
Overland to BKK
BKK-HKG (CX)
HKG-DEL (CX)
DEL-LHR (BA)

Thank you!

I don't think you can do SYD-SGN as it's a codeshare flight. Your best bet might actually be to go SYD-BKK and then do a side trip to SGN.

Would you be doing this is economy ?

Thank you for your reply. You are right SYD-SGN is operated by Vietnam Airlines.


As for the class, my budget is uncertain at the moment but it looks like i'll fly in economy.


Thanks again.

SYD-SGN is permitted booked under the QF flight number.

I)TRAVEL ON ANY CODESHARE SERVICES OPERATED BY
AA/AY/BA/CX/DI/EI/FJ/GF/IB/LA/LP/QF/PH IS
PERMITTED.
A L L OTHER CODESHARE FTS ARE N O T PERMITTED
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF -
1)QF CODESHARE SERVICES ON -
PX(AIR NIUGINI)/TN(AIR TAHITI NUI)/AND;
VN(AIR VIETNAM)/AND;
SA(SOUTH AFRICAN AIRLINES)/AND NF(AIR VANUATA);
SB(AIR CALEDONIE).

Also, LA don't fly UIO-LIM unless you've taken into account the mileage for a transfer in SCL. I don't think that their Peruvian subsidiary Lan Peru flies to Ecuador yet either.

Thank you 3544quebec,


UIO-LIM will be done overland, I should have mentionned it.

Are you from Quebec? I am from Trois-Rivieres. Anyway happy travels and thanks again,

No, not from Quebec, but Montreal is one of my favourite cities. I just pulled the handle out of the air when I first signed onto Flyertalk and now I'm stuck with it!

If you need any info on Quito or Lima (I've done UIO-LIM overland 5 or 6 times myself), send me an email.
