Frankfurt: Star Alliance carriers including Air Canada have reduced the number of stopovers needed to qualify for a Round the World (RTW) fare, from three to two, opening up sales opportunities for the specialized fare to a much larger database of clients.
A globetrotting trip stopping at only two destinations for at least 24 hours is now possible using selected Star Alliance RTW fares, says the group. This change increases the number of itineraries available under the RTW product for travel on the Star Alliance network.
Air Canada is part of Star Alliance and is one of its founding members. The other 27 Star Alliance members are Adria Airways, Aegean Airlines, Air China, Air India, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, Avianca, Avianca Brasil, Brussels Airlines, Copa Airlines, Croatia Airlines, EGYPTAIR, Ethiopian Airlines, EVA Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, SWISS, TAP Portugal, Turkish Airlines, THAI and United.
Overall, the Star Alliance network offers more than 18,400 daily flights to 1,300 airports in 191 countries.
“By enabling round the world travel with only two stopovers, we are increasing the attractiveness of the Star Alliance Round the World fare product,” says Janice Antonson, Vice President, Commercial and Communications, Star Alliance.
She adds: “Customers will now find it easier to build their bespoke routing choosing from the vast offer provided by our 28 member airlines, operating more than 18,400 daily flights, connecting 1,300 destinations in 191 countries.”
