Rw
Hello
I am not the best one on fligtrules so i ask mabey the answer allready is out there.
I trawel for vacation only and wonder if this is posible on a rw ticket.
Live in Sweden.
December ARN-MRU back to europe (ex lhr).

Will it be cheaper than buying two j class seperatly.
Thanks

I assume by "RW" you mean "RTW" ('Round-The-World)
I do not believe your routing would be allowed on the OneWorld Explorer RTW fare. The problem is that once you depart Europe for Mauritius (which I believe is in Africa...) you cannot return to Europe (without circling the globe first). There are a few "dead end" cities in Africa that allow re-entry into Europe per the OWE fare rules, but I don't beleive MRU is one of them.
Besides, do any OneWorld airlines even fly to MRU? I spot-checked ITN and couldn't find any flights...

All of the RTW products have rules designed specifically to prohibit doing what you would like to do (buy one ticket and take multiple trips). There are of course ways around this (legally) but they aren't cost effective for a few trips (one approach is to have multiple RTWs going eastbound and westbound, but it gets tricky to coordinate them). I think BA flies LHR-MRU (might be seasonal) but it really isn't practical for any of the Oneworld RTW products.

Cheaper for you to buy 2 special Business Class tickets :
1) Sweden to MRU and back.
2) Europe to Langkawi (?) and back... Malaysia airlines would have many special fares.
