 The SkyTeam airline alliance has launched a new, 
			  self-service Round the World Planner. The online application has 
			  been designed to allow customers to create their own SkyTeam Round 
			  the World itineraries, using the extensive networks of all 14 
			  SkyTeam member airlines. Two versions of the Round the 
			  World planner have been developed. Both enable customers to build 
			  tailor made itineraries in compliance with SkyTeam's Round the 
			  World fare products, terms and conditions  Customers access the 
			  application via the recently refreshed skyteam.com, while a 
			  customized version for travel agents can be accessed via the newly 
			  created dedicated skyteam.biz website.  "With hundreds 
			  of destinations to choose from, SkyTeam can take our customers 
			  wherever they want to go whenever they want to go, whether they 
			  are traveling for business or pleasure," said Mauro Oretti, 
			  SkyTeam's Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "Our new planner 
			  has been developed to maximize customers' potential travel 
			  opportunities, whilst minimizing the complexity of planning a Round the World itinerary." The SkyTeam Round the World 
			  planner intuitively guides users through every step of planning an 
			  itinerary, which once saved can be printed or emailed. Customers 
			  can book their chosen travel plans via their travel agent or any 
			  SkyTeam member airline. Future phases of the application will 
			  feature real-time flight availability and prices and the ability 
			  to book online via SkyTeam.com.
