World Airfare Ticket
international air ticketThe Pacific as well as the Atlantic must be traversed with a circumnavigation ticket. Please see our circular tariffs for alternative ways to cross these two seas. At least 3 intermediate stops must be made on a world ticket. Over 20 stops on the top level of the ticket are possible.
There will be some ticket restrictions on the number of intermediate points on each continents, in particular the OneWorld ticket, which allows only 2 stations in Europe on their 26,000 miles around the world ticket. If necessary, it is possible to drive through towns several different ways; this can be the case in large metropolises such as London, Frankfurt and Chicago.
Twelve month is the total length of your journey from the first to the last flights on almost every ticket in the world. Changes to pre-departure flights will reduce the airline's re-issuance charge, as well as the airfare and tax to the prevailing level. If there is no re-routing and the same price class is available, only the flat-rate re-routing charge will be charged.
There are no more open, date stamped ticket and the whole track must have at least one temporary date. However, this is changed if the airline opens a flight 11 month in advanced with 1 x renunciation of the modification charge in order to re-issue those flight which were outside the system's reach at the moment of reservation.
Every ticket must have a itinerary or be sorted by destination. Routes are set according to many other regulations and can often involve travelling via hubs. It must be either east or westbound and may not be travelled between different parts of the world. A change of routing before or after take-off is allowed, but often results in higher charges and extra tax payable to the diversion carrier.
In America, for example, there are several large hub airports run by various local carriers, and continental services are often handled via these large hub airports, where transit or intermediate stops may be allowed. In certain circumstances, in particular within a single continental region, back-tracking is allowed. You are not allowed to backtrack between different continents or from the western to the eastern US coasts or from Hawaii to the main US country.
Ticket must be continued in this way without continuous back tracking. On most circumnavigations this is allowed. Tariffs depending on distances contain the space between two towns and the superficial section is contained in the 16 sections max computation on each e-ticket. It is used to compute the reasonable margin for some alliance-based air fare, but has been abolished for single round-trip airline round-the-world flights on routes.
There is a difference between non-stop and non-stop services. Frequent non-stop services may involve a stay to accommodate extra passenger or petrol. Sydney - London with Qantas on QF1, for example, is classified as a non-stop connection. Advantage of a non-stop traffic is that you return to the same place in the same plane.
A further advantage of non-stop flying is that the stopover is not included in your number of kilometres or sectors. Browse the world airfares.
