I just found the new rules for OW RTW travel on www.travel.com.au Also available on www.travel.co.nz... Pulled the OWE4 cont rules. The fares for AUD and NZL have not increased from those posted on fewmiles site.

Besides the new policy for USA ticket purchase when travel starts in another country .... it looks like they added more to/fm cities that count as 1 USA transcon and added a restriction for Anchorage (only one flight to) I guess you can return back to DFW, STL or ORD since no other OW airline flys to ANC. I guess the new ANC rule was put in place for those of us who used the 6 segments in the US to collect between 18-27K miles depending on class of service. Deutsche BA no longer available as a choice in EUR as of June 1 02.

Combinations 1.NOT PERMITTED

Interesting that DI won't be allowed after next month. Heard they are a pretty good airline.

DI is being sold off.

Need some help finding the RTW info. on the www.travel.co.nz site.

I have spent too much time searching the site already.

Do you have any experience buying from this site from outside NZ?

Many thanks.
