Three Circle Asia questions
Three quick questions:
(1) Is this routing valid?
NRT-AKL-SYD-SIN-NRT. Tallies at 14,060 miles, involves all three regions, crosses fron NE Asia to SW Pacific to SE Asia back to NE Asia.
(2) Who issues the ticket?
I have read conflicting information about which airline can issue a "circle' ticket. Previous Circle Pacific tickets I bought were issued by the first segment carrier. In this case this would be NZ. Or can I choose any carrier on this itinerary (which would be SQ or possibly ANA)?
(3) Pricing?
ANA is offering the Star1 (<15,000 miles) C class Circle Asia ticket for about USD 4,100. That seems expensive given that a <22,000 miles C class Circle Pacific ticket prices for around USD 5,200 (ex USA).
N.B. I cannot change thr routing, all other conditions will be fulfilled, and I don't care which *A carrier I fly with though NZ and SQ are preferred.
Many thanks.
