Oneworld in and out of SEA
All.
This is going to be a stupid question, but help.
I want to buy a RTW from TPE, and I need to go to CDG and SEA, and maybe LAS.
1) Where can I find out the fee for RTW from TPE?
2) The flight that I got so far.
TPE-HKG(CX)-CDG(CX)-ORD(AA)-SEA(AA)-?????
I want to go to LAS from SEA, but it looks to me I need to transfer in ORD or DFW??? That is long flight.
Also, if I can book a WN for SEA-LAS, How to do LAS back to TPE?
LAS-DFW(AA)-NRT(AA)-TPE(EG)? Is there a better option?
Thanks

What class are you looking for?
AONE3 CX A Round-Trip 8231.00 (USD)
DONE3 CX D Round-Trip 5728.00 (USD)
LONE3 CX L Round-Trip 2557.00 (USD)
As for the return from LAS you might want to take CX or JL instead of AA. If you aren't flying coach avoid the EG flight between NRT and TPE, take NRT-HKG-TPE or HKG-TPE.
So you could do LAS-LAX-HKG-TPE or LAS-LAX-NRT-HKG-TPE. But, you have a few segments left to use in N. America.

DONE3 CX D Round-Trip 5728.00 (USD)
LONE3 CX L Round-Trip 2557.00 (USD)

I am looking for Y, so it is LONE3.
I am assumuing that the fare you listed is starting from US, right?
You are right, LAX-HKG-TPE on CX should be better than LAX-NRT-TPE on AA.
Thanks for the advise.
Now I guess the biggest question is out from SEA. Big pain. Is it right that no codeshare flight for RTW?
Thanks

Correct - No non-OW metal allowed. You can ride an AA codeshare on a CX plane easily enough, but not an AA codeshare on AS for example (pertaining to SEA.)
SEA to LAS on AS is cheap enough and unlike WN you will get full AA miles and Q-points on any AS flight.
If you change the order of things you could go ORD-LAS, then AS to SEA, and then the train to YVR. From YVR you can ride on either JL to NRT or CX to HKG.

I had the same problem figuring how to get to SEA using only OneWorld flights on a DONE4, next month.
I ended up booking:
BNE-SYD-JFK-SEA-DFW-ANC-DFW-SFO-LHR-SIN-HKG-MEL-PER-ADL-BNE
So it can be done, but it needs some work! Such a pity that the AA/ AS codeshares are not possible on OWE itineraries!
Good luck, and let us know what you end up doing!
