Circle Pacific Routing
 

I think I will attempt my 1st Circle Pacific trip as a ACIR22. Wanted to see if this routing looked valid. tpe-hkg-yvr-lax-akl-syd-hkg-tpe. Could also change tpe-hkg-yvr to tpe-nrt-yvr to try the JAL F if that is worth while. Comments welcome.

Also any hints on booking ex TPE welcome.

IMHO you can't really claim to have "circled" the Pacific without stepping foot in South America.:p

Circle Pacific is a specific fare product, which actually prohibits South America (although there is a variant to include South America at extra cost).

No. There's no YVR-LAX service (AA codeshare on AS, invalid) although if you travel during QF's brief (SYD-) SFO-YVR seasonal service window, you can go YVR-SFO-LAX using AA between SF and LA. You could only stop over in HKG once.

Otherwise it's okay. If you want to fly during the time QF isn't serving YVR you can travel on your own dime to LAX, but the surface segment counts as a stopover, so you'd still have 2 in North America. Any other routing on OW metal (YVR-DFW-LAX, for instance) would likely put you over the 22K mile mark.

Thanks for the tips. YVR - LAX is not an issue as I live in BLI and will be stopping there for 3 or 4 months. I am acutally using this booking to make two RTWs with a YVR-LHR-HKG-YVR BA F award booking I already have.

I does appear that there is not F on some of these routes (LAX-AKL) so I might have th adjust. Thanks again.

Does anyone have a ling to a listing of pricing for xCIR22 fares from various countries?

Ignore me - I can see them on the OW site <doh>
