Hello all!

Sorry I have been away. I will be away for a bit more whilst I get a DC 10 accident report off my desk. Back soon, and I hope to get the new CAI fares soon. If I get a day, I will update the sticky.
Happy landings and may the status points be with you.
spottie.

Cathay flies into Karachi from Bangkok.
Appears that Malaysian airlines has some pretty cheap deals ex-Syd through KL to Karachi.
Anyone thought of this as a different option to Colombo ticketing??

Also potentially useful if you are nesting xONEx tickets and want a cheap way back into Asia from Europe/Middle East.
Assuming prices don't jump I'm quite likely to ticket ex-KHI in early summer. I've already mailed Cathay in KHI and they were able to quote me the same price as listed here/in the spreadsheet.

Just for a lark, you might contact Blands Travel in Gibraltar. The Blands family owns BMed and they have a full service travel agency at GIB that knows how to issue xONExs. Maybe they know who the handling agent or GSA is in DAM.

The planners must have been into some mind-altering substances when they came up with those ex-CAI numbers. Nearly half again the price for the fourth continent. Discriminates sharply against the southern-hemisphere destinations since afaik they're all impossible on -3, but access to southern hemisphere shouldn't cost 50% more.

Exchange rates have also been updated.

Can I ask a silly Q? If one buys a RTW ticket in a certain destination (eg., Dubai), does one actually have to commence the journey there/travel through there, or can you buy on site there and start/finish somewhere else?
Apologies if this has been covered earlier/elsewhere...
