Decide Where To Start From!
Star Alliance CRWSTAR2 tickets are priced according to the country of departure, even when that ticket is sold in another country. The table shows the relative CRWSTAR2 fare levels from various countries around the world when converted into UK Pounds Sterling (GBP)*.
In many cases it may be worth departing from a country other than your own and purchasing an additional positioning flight to and from the point of depature.
Within Europe Switzerland is priced around 33% higher than any other nation on the continent.
You would be crazy to purchase a ticket departing from Mexico when departing from Canada will save around 35% on the base fare.
The best value departure point is Japan which offers around a 48% saving over departing Malaysia and a huge 52% saving on departing from Singapore.
Commencing your round the world ticket in a country other than your own effectively creates extra stopovers in the country of departure. It can also provide an extra sidetrip if you don’t want your round the world trip to last a full year. For instance if you are from Singapore but choose to depart from Japan you could take a positioning flight to Japan, spend some time in Japan then commence your round the world ticket by using the first sector to fly from Japan back to Singapore. Spend a few weeks or months back in Singapore then commence your round the world trip proper with a flight from Singapore to anywhere.
