It is very confusing but interesting in reading through all the threads.

I have a few questions :

1) I noticed in Star Alliance thread that RTW will go up massively from 1 Feb., is Oneworld RTW going up from 1 Feb as well?

2) I am based in Hong Kong. Previously I have purchased tickets on Cathay Taiwan website (TPE-HKG-TPE); Air New Zesland UK website (LHR -HKG-LHR) and have no problem in paying the fare starting in that country, I suppose it will be the same if I am buying CRTW starting from Seoul on-line.

3) If the fare is also going up on 1 Feb, I am trying to buy the ticket tomorrow on line (I am in Osaka at the moment). I will be starting my trip in Oct 2009 and travelling until Aug 2010. I am only certain with the date of the first 3 flights (in Oct) but with not the rest of itin. Also, I cannot book flight more than 12 months and not with a OPEN date. Can I make up the places and dates of the remaining itin and change it later? Am I correct that changing of dates do not require a fee and change of destinations require a fee?

Previously nearly all my RTW were on Star and less familiar with Oneworld.

Many thanks.
