- In general, Round the World fares are offered on all Star Alliance operating and code-shared flight numbers including flights operated by regional partner airlines. Our member airlines do however have the right to exclude single flights from the Round the World fare.
- As Star Alliance member carriers can limit the number of passengers carried on any given flight traveling on a Round the World fare, the flight you wish to take may be sold out for this fare. Please note that, due to U.S. government restrictions, a ticket that includes travel to/from/via Cuba may not be sold in the USA nor originate in the USA nor include flight segments for travel on Continental Airlines, United or US Airways operated or marketed flights. Such ticket cannot be sold to US citizens and cannot be issued on Continental Airlines, United or US Airways ticket stock. Destinations in Cuba can not be purchased online via the Star Alliance Book and Fly tool. Residents of Cuba, Ghana and Nigeria are asked to contact a member airline or a travel agent as Star Alliance Book and Fly does not support these countries. Due to legal restrictions any travel starting in Libya must only be sold in Libya. Therefore a Book and Fly itinerary cannot start in Libya.
- The applicable Round the World fare is determined by the total number of miles of your planned trip as well as the country where your journey begins (country of origin). The number of miles is based on IATA industry (International Air Transport Association) standards (Ticketed Point Mileage Table) :
- The Normal Round the Word fare includes up to 29 000, 34 000 or 39 000 miles.

- Round the World fares are available in First, Business and Economy Class.
- When a customer chooses to book a flight or a flight segment that is only available in a lower cabin class than the desired cabin class (for example downgrading from First to Business class or from Business to Economy class) no discounts or refunds will be applied to the total price of the ticket.
- When a customer chooses to book a Round the World ticket in Business class, but on a flight or a flight segment only a First class cabin is offered for Air China, United or US Airways, an upgrade to First class free of charge will be offered should there be seats available in the First class cabin.
- Round the World tickets may be upgraded to a higher Round the World fare upon payment of the difference in fare, recalculated from the point of origin plus an applicable rerouting fee.
Exception: On sectors within/between USA and Canada or within China where Business Class is not offered, business passengers will be accommodated in First Class subject to availability of seats at the time of booking. In case First Class seats are not offered or not available, the passenger will be offered to choose an Economy Class seat. In that case, no refund will apply.
