DL now has a rule that no changes are permitted to award tickets within 72 hours of the scheduled flight time. This should also apply to RTW tickets booked with DL miles. The rule also says that if you try to cancel an award ticket that used DL miles within 72 hours of departure, the miles will not be returned to you. There is extensive discussion of this in the DL forum. The normal change fee for DL award tickets is $150, which is waived for PMs and DMs.

Upcoming RTW DL award trip, trying to get MLE-NBO on a Tuesday.
Only ST option I can find is via SVO on Sun/Thurs. Any ideas? Only real alternative would be buying a ticket to DXB (emirates) or BOM (airIndia via CMB) and taking a KQ flight from either of those two. dXB would be a long layover.... And BOM would require 11pm-3am waiting in BOM airport. (no idea, but sounds like no fun). |

I am in business on the KQ leg. Thanks for the input.
I'll be landing 11pm-ish from CMB on either Jet or AirIndia... On a different ticket. Will I need to clear customs in BOM, or is it all consolidated in one terminal? What if I check bags (don't think I can interline between those carriers on separate tickets).... |
Sorry I've never flown in from CMB but it ought to be in the same terminal. Give the airline a call about that and see if you can interline. Anything is possible in India!

(SVO requires a visa to leave the airport, but you can transit airside, although this can be a risk in IROPs, where at best you would be put in a special transit section of an airport hotel and not allowed to leave your room/floor during an unexpected overnight in Russia if your passport normally requires a visa in advance for Russia.) |

with DL's new policy on how many MQMs are earned based on fare purchase, what is the policy on MQMs earned on a skyteam RTW ticket? Is the 50% bonus, the 100% bonus, or none at all?

RTW Y Fares and Mileage/Segment Earning
Hi all,
Just a quick question (may have been asked/answered before, but I can't find it) ... If I book a SkyTeam RTW ticket in Y (lowest mileage band, lowest possible fare ex UK) what fare class(es) do I end up in? More specifically, will all segments earn level miles and segments in my Flying Blue account? The itinerary I'm looking at (which is in lieu of a r/t ticket, UK-Oz) involves KL DL and CZ metal. Many thanks. -- Henry |

More specifically, will all segments earn level miles and segments in my Flying Blue account?... 26.000 miles (fare basis: RTWSKY 4)* 29.000 miles (fare basis: RTWSKY 3) 33.000 miles (fare basis: RTWSKY 2) 38.000 miles (fare basis: RTWSKY 1) On KL class L for RTW 1-2 and class Q for RTW 3-4 (both 50%EQM) On DL class K for RTW 1-2 and class L for RTW 3-4 (both 50%EQM) On CZ class M for RTW 1-2-3 and class G for RTW 4 before 26 oct 2013 (both 40%EQM) Normally all segments accrual both level and qualifying flights, but don't forget to verify because it could change For all ST companies this link precise all booking classes in the three cabins: http://www.skyteam.biz/fr/Travel-off...oking-Classes/ |
Excellent information, delanotre! Thanks very much.

Can anyone share the link to full(est available) RTW ticketing ticketing rules for ST?
Questions: 1) which fare shall be used (of which airline) depending on what 2) sales restrictions (ala SITI etc) - seems to be none now 3) manual fare etc confirmation with an airline I see here that autopricing is now supported in Amadeus... Which might mean no more quote to be received from an airline... |
