Does a round-the-world ticket get invalidated if you miss a flight in the midst of an itinerary?

score:4

Accepted answer

Yes. They do. The exact rule vary by alliance but when the Star Alliance one which I used last year, stipulates that any missed flight voids the entire ticket. This really scared me as I nearly missed two flights, one with me making it to the airport 10 minutes ahead of flight (and making it!) and the other within 40 minutes. For the first I was late because two trams broke on the way and for the second, there were grieving workers blocking a major highway I was stuck on. Plan accordingly and give yourself extra time.

You can though reschedule up to three hours before for a fee, so if you know certainly that you will miss a flight, you can call them. My ticket was purchased in Canadian dollars, so the fee was $200 CAD, it might be different depending on your currency.
