Which Round the World Business Class Fare to Pick

When the travel industry is flooded with options…it can be difficult to find the right airline to fly with, right? In fact, we would dare to say flights are almost as important as the destinations you’re flying to! Travellers spend 24 – 48 hours in the air, after all (possibly even more with Round the World travel from New Zealand). So naturally, when you travel Round the World Business Class, the expectation is that flights leave you rested, refreshed, and ready to take on a new adventure. 

This is where it gets a little tricky for travellers. Not all airlines and Business Class cabins are alike in their inclusions and benefits. Differences range from seat types, layout options, and even amenities offered. So, how could you possibly know which airline to choose for Round the World Business Class travel from New Zealand? That’s why we’re here. 

RoundAbout Travel New Zealand offers Airfare Specialists who have undergone extensive Round the World training on airfare and airline products. They’re across the latest and greatest in offerings. This means less guesswork for you!

Let’s get things in motion, we’ve pulled together some fantastic airlines for Round the World Business Class flights from New Zealand…

Finnair 

As a oneworld member, Finnair’s Business Class is known to be fantastic while also somewhat controversial. They’re a popular choice amongst value-conscious Frequent Flyers who want to experience both Qantas Business Class seats as well as Finnair’s AirLounge.  

What makes Finnair’s AirLounge so controversial, you ask? Well, the seat doesn’t recline. However, this seat remains a favourite for many Round the World Business Class travellers as the seat of the AirLounge will actually rise to create a fully flat bed. Finnair’s AirLounge has been designed to facilitate lounging during the day and settling in during the night. Private, comfortable, and coupled with the high-quality service Finnair is known for. 

Of course, no Finnair flight is complete without Merrimeko amenity kits. 

Why Finnair? 

Finnair’s RTW airfare is a fantastic option for travellers who would like to explore multiple European destinations with an Asian getaway. This fare only requires a basic North American stopover in one of their major hubs.

SWISS

One of our most popular fares, the SWISS Business Class multi-continent fare is a great option for New Zealand travellers. This fare will take you to three continents, with Europe as the second stop. There’s a lot of route options possible and it’s packaged with a variety of quality Star Alliance member airlines to/from New Zealand. Onboard, enjoy a roomy 2-metre flat bed, making your Round the World Business Class trip extra comfortable. On flights departing from Zurich, you’ll be served seasonal delicacies created by top Swiss chefs. You’ll have a wide range of films to choose from onboard which actually change monthly- perfect if you’re travelling on a Round the World Business Class ticket over a long period of time. Plus, enjoy the perks of extra baggage allowance, lounge access, an amenity kit and priority check-in and boarding. 

Why SWISS?

The SWISS Business Class Global Fare offers travellers a range of Asian, European and North American stopovers. By utilising this fare as a base for your main intercontinental travel, you can combine multiple destinations at a very low price. From New Zealand, fly East or West and add in more destinations/stopovers in each continent. If you prefer, Asia can just be a transit if no stopover is wanted.

oneworld Circle Pacific

A oneworld Circle Pacific Business Class airfare is great for those looking for a smaller trip to the Americas and Asia. With this fare, you do not need to visit Europe or undertake a full Round the World trip! A Circle Pacific itinerary is an intercontinental journey to explore continents that border the Pacific Ocean, including places like Japan, Hawaii, Australia or even South America.

This fare can include flights on Qantas, American Airlines, Alaskan Airlines, Cathay Pacific, JAL and Malaysia Airlines. The fares include a maximum of 2 stops per continent/region.

Why oneworld?

This airfare is ideal for high-tier Qantas frequent flyer members looking to maximise status credit accrual. It can also be a good option to keep costs down compared to high pricing on return USA/Canada airfares, for those who are happy to travel one way via Asia but may not have the time to visit Europe as well.
