Hi Jack,

I had a look at the special fares on your web site and noticed one that almost suits my needs. It is...

PacificExpressEC fare ($1799)
Boston departure (+$150)
New Zealand before Australia (no charge)
overland from Singapore to Bangkok (- $75)
Delhi and Kathmandu from Bangkok (+$450)
= $2324 + taxes

The only thing I would consider is the addition of either:
- a round trip between Hong Kong and Seoul (Hong Kong -> Seoul -> Hong Kong -> Boston)
- a stopover in Seoul (Hong Kong -> Seoul -> Boston)

Which would be less expensive?

Thanks,
Conor.

Would the following route be better?

Sydney -> Delhi
overland
Kathmandu -> Bangkok
overland
Singapore -> Hanoi
Hanoi -> Hong Kong
overland
Beijing -> Seoul
Seoul -> New York

What about a revised itinerary of...
Hanoi -> Hong Kong
overland
Beijing -> Seoul

If I do have to organize a tour package, can I organize it from America or should I do it en-route?

Thanks,
Conor.

Dear Conor,

Many thanks for contacting us about a trip. We can offer the following coach fare for a September departure:

New York > Los Angeles > Rarotonga > Nadi > Port Vila > Auckland > Sydney > Singapore (overland) Bangkok > Delhi
= $1879 + $98 Tax

We cannot issue tickets from Kathmandu to Tibet and from Tibet to China, this can only be done as part of a tour package.

Also, it is too early to quote for your flights after May 2002. Since you are backtracking (from India back to China, forward to Vietnam and again back to Korea), the fare will be over $3000. It would be cheaper to travel in one geographical direction.

These are special fares and restrictions apply. Changes after flight confirmation attract penalties. A weekend surcharge may apply to certain flights. The above fares reflect a cash discount which applies only to payments by check, money order or direct transfer into our account. All bookings are accepted as per our general terms & conditions which are posted on our web site at http://www.around-the-world.com/terms.htm. Some flights may not be eligible for frequent flyer miles.

At this point we are not holding any reservation for the above trip(s), and fares may change at any time without prior notice. A $150 down payment, per person, is required in advance to make a reservation.

We do recommend travel insurance. Please check the visa and health requirement for your destinations.

We can certainly arrange for tours, accommodation and car rental at your destination. I am sure you will find our prices quite attractive. Please let us know what exactly you had in mind and we will revert with a quote.

We look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Sincerely

Susi
