A quick check on EF shows that NAN is quite a cheap place to buy ATW tickets. The DGLOB34 currently works out at GBP2843 plus tax and the AGLOB34 at GBP3607 plus tax

Note: There is no One World Explorer fare showing on EF ex NAN since, iirc, there are no OW flights to NAN

would it be the same for PPT?

must get EF, didn't realise it displays RTW prices. (is it easy to find the price of EF or do you need codes etc to find it)

GBP3603 +++ so more expensive from PPT.

RTW prices are pretty easy to find in Expertflyer. Put the departure and destination cities as the city you want to start the RTW in. Choose the airline, and it will return what's available.

oneworld.com also shows RTW prices, and it's free.

Yes it does. Not for OWE, true, but that is because the fare does not exist for those places. Global Explorer fares, however, are shown for both places.

No. If there is no fare, then you cannot buy it.

What you are mistaking it with is the pricing of a ticket. If you wish to purchase an ex-MRU DONE4 the fare is $x . If you purchase it from MRU, then the price charged will be $x

If you book the ex -MRU DONE4 but wish to purchase it in Australia ( for example ), then you would be charged the higher of the ex-MRU price or the ex-AU price ; if you were in NAN and wanted to purchase an ex-MRU DONE4, then you would be charged the ex-MRU price since there is no ex-NAN fare

could you use this to get an ex-mru ticket without the egregious fuel fines that ba puts on a ticket if there were (say) an aa office in nadi (or some other location w/o a published oneworld rtw fare)?

I don't see why not, provided, of course, one could find a local oneworld airline office, or agent, willing and able to issue the ticket.
