Virgin and Air New Zealand 4 Stop Premium Economy RTW Plus ticket from £1749 plus £290-£490 tax*

This round the world ticket is one of the best value Premium Economy RTWs you can get. Covered in sumptuous purple leather the new Premium Economy seat from Virgin Atlantic, is now more luxurious than ever. With ample leg room (the seat pitch is 38 inches) and an additional two degrees of recline, you can happily stretch out and notice the extra comfort. Combined with laptop power and a redesigned table, the new Premium Economy seat is the perfect place in which to work or relax. Air New Zealand’s Pacific Premium Economy is the biggest in its class with ultra-comfortable seats and a very generous 38-40" seat pitch. It also offers extra seat recline with full leg rest and foot rest. There's an exciting menu designed to reflect New Zealand’s rich culinary landscape, and if you get peckish outside of meal times you can take advantage of a new Premium self-service refreshment area. Travelling in Pacific Premium Economy makes light work of long-haul trips, enabling you to sit back, take a nap or watch a movie on demand

If you pay the higher Australia fare, then you can have the option of visiting both Australia and New Zealand. However if you only want to visit Sydney in Australia you can pay the lower New Zealand Fare and still visit the two countries. e.g. London - Hong Kong - Sydney - Auckland - San Francisco - London is an Auckland fare

Additional Stopover options

In addition to the stopovers shown above there are other stopover options possible provided you are prepared to make your own way between certain cities - for example Air New Zealand operate from Vancouver to New Zealand but you would need to fly into Los Angeles and make your own way to Vancouver. This means a surface sector between them. The same thing applies to Shanghai. With Virgin Atlantic you can fly into Shanghai and then make your own way to Hong Kong to carry on to Sydney or New Zealand.

What does ‘surface’ mean?
This means you will fly in and out of a different city or country. In other words you will travel between them by other means; perhaps by train, bus or boat. These surface sectors ensure that you get to see and experience more of a country - more

What tax - is it V.A.T?
The tax is airport tax, money that the airport is charging you to use its facilities. This used to be collected at the airports, but is now payable in advance when you purchase your ticket. There are still a few countries in which your taxes are collected at the airport upon departure.
Recently there have been two additional charges added – Security Charges and Fuel Surcharges - more
