Star Alliance has released a Circle North Asia fare.

The new multi-carrier fare is valid on Air China, ANA, Asiana and Shanghai Airlines for flights between China, (including Hong Kong and Macao), Japan and Korea. Travel needs to include all three countries, at least three stopovers and begin and end in the same country.


Reservations for the first international flight have to be made at least seven days prior to departure, while all subsequent flights can be booked last minute or changed without charge. Minimum stay is three days and maximum two months. Fare levels vary according to class of travel and distance travelled - 4,800 or 6,600 miles. Tickets can be booked and issued through any Star Alliance member airline.


"Our latest fare product was developed because we are seeing increasing demand for travel in this part of Asia," said Horst Findeisen, vice president - Business Development at Star Alliance. "Circle fares allow customers to explore several countries at their leisure with a single booking, and are becoming more popular with customers who are interested in doing business or spending time in a small geographic zone."
