Thanks wrenz ^

I assume the figures for YRWSTAR1 & 2 are transposed.

Increases are approx $600 Y, $1000 C and $1200 F

Perhaps they are but that is how they are posted on the SQ site.

Same advice I got when I checked, and indeed the website is now corrected. If only all SQ website issues were corrected so quickly.

The UK prices for C & F seem to have been left alone but the prices for Y have increased (1409 / 1739 / 1959 respectively). Egypt also seems to have been left alone.

I'm sure someone will put the rest of the list up soon.

Thanks a lot, MAN flyer, I really appreciate it!

I wonder if starlite is available ex-USA? I guess my next RTW will be VS/SQ/NZ..

Do prices ever come down?

We always hear abt the increase in RTW fares. Do RTW price ever come down? If it just keeps on going up, isnt it goin to affect the demand?

Paper currencies are rapidly devaluating, hence prices for services like RTW tickets will always go up. Only exception may be a very strong change in a particular exchange rate. Of course, changes in exchange rates are more often used to increase prices in one affected market instead of decreasing them in the other.

Thumbs up

Thanks to all for the heads up on the increase. I booked a FRWSTAR2 on Saturday and was waiting for three days for the "Rate Desk" to set the total price. After hearing about the increase I called United and got them to fix the final price today. Had I not called, the ticket would have sat there for several more days, according to the CSR, and I would have been charged an additional $1400.

Can add Australia to the list now as well - the increases aren't too bad at all. There's also quite a few rule changes as of 01JUN as well, but will do a seperate thread for them.

NEW FARES on STAR PRODUCTS ex AU eff 01JUN -

Starlite/Special - AUD2629.00 Low AUD3049.00 High (Was AUD2499 low/AUD2899 High)

Star1
Y - AUD3069.00 (+ $90 - was 2979.00)
J - AUD9509.00 (+ $90 - was 9419.00)
F - AUD13,399.00 ( + $130 - was 13,269.00)

Star2
Y - AUD3599.00 ( + $100 - was 3499.00)
J - AUD10,599.00 ( + $100 - was 10,499.00)
F - AUD14,389.00 ( + $140 - was 14,249.00)

F - AUD15,379.00 ( + $150) - was 15,229.00)

Star CIRCLE PAC -
New rules release but no fare rise for Australia, although I believe all other South West Pacific countries had rises on this.
Star CIRCLE ASIA -
New rules release but as far as I can tell no price rise.
