RTW - Qantas - SwissAir $6,800++

[albatross710]

Came across this one with Bestflights after seeing it on the Flight Centre advert this morning 'Business class from' $6,552. Still waiting for a call back from FC rep.

Swissair deal allows three stop overs, can be via Asia in both directions.

Availablity was reasonable within 1 day of my planned travel dates, although those 1 day extras do add up so we are tossing up whether the quick 2 week trip becomes 3 weeks.

This fare lets you go both ways via US.

If you are collecting QF SCs you are allowed to fly SYD-JFK-SYD all on Qantas QF107/108.

Do you have access to the fare rules for this? It almost seems too good!

Flight class J or Z

[MelUser]

QF flights are in D, Swiss (LX?) is in Z

One non stop flight number from Aus to Asia - eg SYD-BOM was longest flight I could find or US eg SYD - JFK

It is a fare that is not often used,

Finnair have something similar except that you have to fly via Asia both ways. On Finnair you get SCs all the way for QFF.

I assume the following would be OK?

SYD-JFK (QF), JFK-BCN (LX), BCN-SIN(LX), SIN-ADL(QF) - Stopping JFK, BCN and SIN?

From JFK I could use AeroMexico Airpass for JFK-GDL/MEX-JFK quite cheaply..

When are you going? We're flying high season (middle July 09) and got a similar fare (quoted SwissAir, but ended up taking Qantas/AA/JAL OneWorld) for $2000 each less than that. Trip is MEL-SYD-SFO, SFO-NY, NY-Paris, Paris-Tokyo, Tokyo-SYD-MEL.

Let me know if you want the details.

forgive my NOOB question, but should I post them here for everyone? Or by email/PM?

That looks fine - you just need to check that LX flies from ZRH to SIN (I'm unsure)
