New Tool to Book RTW On-Line?
I don't go to the Star Alliance web site too often, but I was shocked to go today and find a "Star Alliance Book and Fly" tool that seems to allow one to book a RTW journey right on the web site (http://staralliance.innosked.com/)!
I have never seen nor heard of this before, on FlyerTalk or elsewhere. Am I the only one? If this is legitimate, it would be a definite improvement over the current methods to purchase these trips.

This tool is really good!
It's actually better than the Oneworld tool, as this tool tells you right away when you select the flight for your segment if the booking class you need is available (ie. D or, in case of AC, C for business) or if you need to be downgraded.

It seems to be giving prices based on country of residence, and not country of origin... is anyone else noticing this, or am I doing something wrong?
Nevermind... just don't use the back button on your browser (or maybe just my browser) and it seems to be working.
Great tool

Were you "clicking" on the final city or typing it in. You must type in the name of the final city
