RTW on Skyteam?
Does anyone know if it would make a significant difference if I bought a RTW ticket starting in France from KLM or AF? Or I could start my trip from Belgium or NL or Switzerland or anywhere else close I guess. I'm FP Rouge if that matters.
|
I, too, would like some info on ST RTWs. There really isn't much on this board!
|
The skyteam.com link below shows a link for terms and conditions. I would look there first--then maybe some folks here could answer specific questions.

Sample itineraries
This is a great thread with all the rules. I have seen OW and Star rules for a while on FT, it is great to see Skyteam rules here.
Are there any sample itins? I am interested in ones that maximize miles or experiences (unusual places, etc). Is there any thread with current fares in addition to the rules? Looking for low cost origin points naturally. |
caution!
What truly sucks on a SkyTeam RTW in Business Class is that you either sit in coach or fork over another USD 100 per segment to be seated in domestic F.
|
cool, but how much do rtw tickets cost?
|
substantial variation depending country of origin. Ask a participating airline or a travel agent in the country you want to depart from.
|
I think that somewhere in the past the prices for different zones/countries were posted. One important point, in the US they are 7 day advance and in much of Europe they can be bought last minute.

Code:

Many thanks for the price list... I've converted the prices to EUR and USD and sorted by cheapest F tickets. I wonder if Tunisia is correct, as it seems ridiculously high. In addition, I didn't have exchange rates for New Caledonia, Polynesia, Samoa, Slovakia and Tonga. I'll fix those later.
The F out of Egypt is very cheap indeed. Now if there were only decent F on SkyTeam... I think I'll stick with oneworld for RTWs for now. Here it is in EUR: Code:
Egypt 4183 2959 1554 |
Here's the list in USD:
Code:
Egypt 5193 3673 1929 |
Stickify please!!!
What an effort. ^
Can we get prices for the smaller packages and make this sticky? :) |
Can we get the prices for the other mileage options?
