Circle Pacific - Pricing Discrepancies!
Am now doing regular travel between SYD and YYZ and even though I have to take an extra flight and some time (but since it's not urgent for me to take direct flights), the Circle Pacific option in D or A class is a screaming bargain (versus the direct with AC).
What I can't wrap my head around is the massive difference in price depending on where you start in this itinerary: SYD-HKG-YYZ-JFK-SYD All prices in AUD for D class: SYD - 9,990 HKD - 6,270 YYZ - 9,331 JFK - 11,496 I do enough travel to HKG and given the future travel plans I have with 6 - 8 trips in the next 6 months, it seriously pays even for a repositioning flight. What gives? As an aside, does anyone know if AA RTW will book a circle Pacific ex-HKG, even though the only flight they'd claim on AA metal would be YYZ-JFK, and the AA codeshare on QF107 from JFK-SYD? I highly doubt it, so I thought I'd have to book through Cathay. Do they have a RTW desk in either HKG or SYD? Otherwise, I'll have to go through my Canadian travel agent. Cheers, ACN |
Can you perhaps change the HKG-YYZ segment to HKG-JFK-YYZ and then fly the AA codeshare on CX metal HKG-JFK?
Don't know if the AA RTW desk 'does' xCIRxx tickets at all (since they aren't RTW tickets)

The AA GSA in HKG (Walshe Group in Central Plaza, Wanchai) are reasonably effiicient too - I've used them a few times for reissues of AA RTWs set up by the RTW desk.

Not OW, but with *A there are fares SYD-JFK-YYZ return for less than US$4400 all in.
