A few questions for the guest Is it still the case that Lufthansa group charges a bunch in taxes and fees Also I saw you mentioned booking long haul SQ on the rtw trip isn’t that blocked off? Also didn’t tap recently increase exorbitantly their surcharge for TATL rtw bookings
Hi there! Thanks for watching. Here are some answers: 1) Yes, Lufthansa group does charge more in taxes/fees. But, even with that, the most I've ever seen someone charged in taxes for a ANA RTW ticket was $1500/person. If you conservatively divide that by 10 flights, that's still only $150/flight, which is really good. 2) Not blocked off - I've done it before but it is hard to get and you need to be lucky. 3) I haven't seen that much yet, but it's always possible. These things could change at any time.
@@awardmagic very nice thank you, ANA rtw bookings might be my favorite redemption. The only thing is that since it’s such a hard redemption there’s not that many data points. Would love more content on this.
Awesome show would love to one day do one of dose trips
definitely a bucket list itinerary for a lot of points and miles folks!
This is definitely on my bucket list for retirement. Two years to save up some points!
Also 1st
yay!!! I appreciate you!
