of six continents. For one inclusive price, you can visit up to 20 cities and save as much as 50% compared with purchasing the individual flight segments
independently.

The Star Alliance, One World Alliance, and Skyteam all offer Around the World fares in economy, business or first class on any of the alliances
participating airlines at a fixed price. Several leading airlines, including Qantas , Singapore Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic offer their own Around
the World fares for even greater savings. Examples include an all Singapore Airlines Around the World Business Class fares for less than $5,600 or a
Qantas/El Al Around the World for less than $5,000.
1stAir Introduces Customized Around the World Fares
With One World Partners
|
|
1stAir is pleased to introduce special Around the World fares featuring One
World Alliance partners, Cathay Pacific, British Airways and American
Airlines for travel between the U.S., Asia and Europe. This fare requires the outbound trans pacific sector to be via Cathay Pacific, with up to a 48
hour stay in Hong Kong, before continuing onto Bangkok. Travel then continues on to London with British Airways (or Qantas if Preferred) and then back
to the U.S. with American Airlines. An unlimited amount of time is permitted in Southeast Asia, and
side trips on to nearby destinations including Indonesia, Singapore, or
Vietnam are also permitted at a surcharge. Travel then continues in a west
bound direction with British Airways(or Qantas if preferred) to a European
gateway before returning to the U.S via American Airlines.
In addition to this savings, the other advantage of this special fare is
that it only requires a minimum of one stopover (Bangkok) rather than the
traditional three stopovers associated with standard around the world
products. All fares are eligible for mileage credit. There is even a
directional First Class add which in most cases is less than $1,800.
Examples of these special fares, and how they can be put to work for you include:

Offshore ticketing and buying power for even greater savings
Perhaps the biggest benefit of purchasing an Around the World itinerary as a
Passport Premiere member is the ability to take advantage of off shore
ticketing by originating your itinerary from a country outside of the United
States, particularly one that you may travel to frequently. For example, if you make more than one trip a year
to Asia you may wish to consider purchasing an Around the World itinerary
originating in Bangkok, where Around the World fares are up to 40% less
expensive than originating in the U.S.. Passport Premiere offers offshore
Around the World ticketing options from Asia, Africa, India and the Middle
East which will give you more travel for less. Purchasing offshore also
gives you the added bonus of adding up to 5 or more flight segments for
travel within the U.S in First Class for future use. To put the power of
membership to work for you, proceed to sign in to your portfolio or if you
are not a member go to www.passportpremiere.com
and enroll on-line today.
