RTW in First
I am looking at RTW fares, and I want to fly in First for the majority travel, I know first is unavailable on some routes, like internal USA etc, but every-time I use the star booking tool, no matter what I try, its always putting me in Business, for every flight. I assume RTW fares are like discounted first codes, but has anyone ever manages to actually book a RTW fare in First, can certain travel agents help? I want t fly first with Swiss, LH, Singapore, ANA etc
Thanks |
Europe-SE Asia-Australia is possible in F though the main carrier would be SQ to do that and they don't offer RTW seats in F on the A380 leaving on the 77W with F seats and there aren't many of them - I think only LHR and FRA, maybe CDG. Once you get beyond AUS, it's UA or AC and neither offers F so you are in C anyway. TBH, given the restrictive possibliity of SQ F, you'd be better booking C and looking for an upgrade if you can find one but SQ are also very difficult about upgrades too - I was once told they prefer to off load rather than upgrade to F.
Good luck! |

Thanks Don't like the website. Use TA or call the airline. |

Fun fact on the RTWs in Business Class: The fare rules clearly say that TG books into booking class J but Amadeus is programmed to have it booked into D. Otherwise auto-pricing doesn't work according to my TA and also the dreadful *A RTW online tool shows booking class D if you select TG flights.
