Highest percentage of SQ on RTW tix ?

[SQflyergirl]

Are you actually allow to transit SIN more than 2 times...? I thought that the Star Alliance either Circle Pacific & Round The World fares rules aren't allow that...!

3 transfers allowed through SIN, unless you started there, in which case it's 0.

Edit for clarity: This is for RWSTARS/CCA and CCP's

Unlimited transits ? Does that mean I can rack up a large amount of PPS sectors (more than on a RWSTAR) by transiting SIN to all the nearby destinations ?

Sssshh...!

There's an SQ RTW (both D and A) ex-Australia. Sample routing: MEL-SIN-LHR/FRA-JFK/LAX-TPE-SIN-MEL. It could be available in other countries too but I'm not sure. The rules require you to use SQ 100%. It's good value too (a lot cheaper than SQ/VS, SQ/VS/NZ or CRWSTAR) - I just hope the fare doesn't rise too much by the time I am ready for another big trip.

Haven't read the rules in great detail but I think they're fairly restrictive. Additional transfers to Asia from SIN allowed but incurs extra fees.

Has anyone else come across this SQ-only RTW? SQ 100%!

I think this one is a bit restrictive. As you can see, you have to find your own-way from JFK/EWR to LAX/SFO/YVR. Also, for your example, the seperate tix for LHR-FRA. Not to forget, a shord period ticket validity.

Yes it's quite restrictive. Still much cheaper than CRWSTAR though (at least a 3 grand diff ex-MEL). I'm thinking of buying those *A Euro/NA explorer tickets in Y (or whatever the economy bucket is) if i use the SQ RTW fare in D.

edited to add - I found some of the rules:

No restrictions on number of stopovers, but you must take a minimum of 3 and ticket is valid up to 1 year.

Travel must be in a continous direction and via North/Central Pacific.

Please be aware that some surcharges will apply on direct flights from Singapore to New York or Los Angeles. Travel must be on direct services via the Pacific Ocean in one direction.

Only one stopover may be made at the same city and no city can be transited more than once, except for Singapore to enable you to return to the country of origin.

Thinking about it, I think I've seen mention of this RTW before. SuperFlyBoy posted a sample itinerary on TOF a while back but I assume that then got scuppered by the ex-DEL taxes.
