Indeed...conflicting info.

BB does a great job, but the latest version of the *A RTW Rules .doc he offers on his site is apparently way out of date--having nothing about the *A Regional members, for example.

What's the _latest_ scoop? $150 or $500? KF? BD exceptions? Wha?

This internet is great for the information it gives us...but then, don't you know, one begins to _rely_ on it for accurate and timely information...

cheers,

Henry

Well I am just going with latest info given. If someone can point me to further changes, I would be happy, including regionals. As for $500 for SQ, it looks like this is indeed there http://www.xanadu.co.kr/worldwide/starairline.asp) :

The information I had was current as of February 14, 2005. I will update when provided with updated fares. I am not a travel agent only a repackager of information, hopefully in a useful portable format

I will update accordingly

Updated with that info but there still seems to be something missing unless regionals are not yet included on RTW tickets.

Thanks for updating BlondeBomber ^^

I have checked a number of RTW sites on the net and none are showing Star alliance regional airlines as participating. Maybe they are still plugging them in or maybe they aren't going to be part of this . . .

BB - the last 3 fare rule sheets I've seen have the three regionals participant. They've been "in" & legal since December last year. They're using the Star standard classes - D for Biz on the 1/2/3, M for Y on the 1/2/3 and H for Starlite. None of them have any banned flights listed. KF JP and OU paper is also good for issuing RTW's, providing the golden rule of paper used must be a participant in the itinerary.
Cheers.

OK, thanks Al. If there are no regional flights listed as banned in the Rules, then this is another mistake in the *A RTWMC. I will contact them about it. They were fairly quick to fix the EWR-SIN trans-Atlantic problem. (Seems a pity, though, that we have to do their de-bugging for them.)

cheers,

Henry

On the RTWMC, it looks like EWR-SIN is a trans-Pacific flight, but BKK-JFK is a trans-Atlantic flight. So, one could do BKK-JFK,EWR-SIN, SIN-BKK (plus another city) as a valid RTW.

so how would this one be?
lax-sin-bkk on sq
bkk-jfk- tg
jfk-lax on ua all in business class .

i'm brand new to this and thinking of taking this trip this summer.

I would guess that this is (yet another) bug in the Calculator. When we were talking here about the EWR-SIN discrepancy, somebody explained about the IATA zone system and how any route between North America and Asia must be considered trans-Pacific. You should send the *A programmers a note at [email protected] and point it out.

In the olden days, before the internet, it used to require hours in the library scouring the OAG in order to be one step ahead, information-wise, of the travel agent. Now we've got all this info at the touch of a button--but it still takes nearly as much time as before because you need to double-triple check that what you find online is correct!

cheers,

Henry

If YYZ-DEL and EWR-SIN are Trans-Pac, you can bet your bottom $ that BKK-JFK will be Trans-Pac. It's a flight from IATA3 to IATA1 without touching IATA2, so under Global Designator rules it's a Trans-Pac routing.
I'd say there's a glitch in the RTWMC - after all, it showed the EWR-SIN as a Trans-At for a while before it was corrected.

Happy 1000th post, Al B!

I sent them a note pointing this out on Friday and today (Monday) I got a reply saying that they would fix it in the next update of the RTWMC. Not bad.

cheers,

Henry

Geez. Thanx. I didn't even notice it myself !!
