Star Alliance simplifies round the world travel planning
06.11.2006 [12:54] Round the World Mileage Calculator now available online at staralliance.com. South African Airways now included in the Round the World fare
Star Alliance, of which bmi is a member, has further simplified planning round the world flights by launching an easy-to-use online version of its Round the World Mileage Calculator. The new tool is now available online at www.staralliance.com and brings with it two distinct advantages over the existing downloadable version: an enlarged user group, as anyone with internet access can now make use of this tool, irrespective of their computer operating system and real-time schedule information which is retrieved directly through the internet.
The Round the World Mileage Calculator allows customers or travel agents to build complete round the world itineraries online corresponding to the applicable fare rules. Once the full trip has been planned, it can be transmitted to a reservations office of one of the member carriers, be printed and faxed to a travel agent for booking and ticketing or simply be saved on the computer for future use.
All Star Alliance Round the World fares are attractively priced according to mileage flown and class of travel. The routing can cover a total distance of up to 39,000 miles with a maximum of 15 stopovers. The fare is available for travel in First, Business or Economy Class. Tickets are valid for one year. Additionally, the Star Alliance network also offers a Round the World special fare, which is only available for travel in Economy Class, has a maximum mileage of 26,000, must be purchased seven days prior to departure and permits three to five stopovers.
With the recent inclusion of South African Airways in this product, the number of routings available to passengers has increased, especially within Africa, across the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
In addition to the Round the World fare, Star Alliance offers a total of ten fare and discount products, including the African, North American and European Air Passes, the Circle Asia and Circle Pacific fares and Conventions Plus, a dedicated product for conventions travel.
Mileage accrual through any of the Frequent Flyer Programmes offered by the 18 member carriers is possible when travelling on Star Alliance fare and discount products. Moreover, Star Alliance Gold and Silver card holders are entitled to make use of their status benefits when using these fares.
