It's nice that they got rid of the seasonality ex-AU, but I'm disappointed that they used the high season price. I'd have rathered they used a new price. Maybe the low season price+60ish% of the difference from high season.
With the new increases, I might have to reconsider any travel plans I might have had for next year.
I was reconsidering doing another xONE4 this year (after a L#GLOB** in 06 and LONE4s in 07 and 08) after the AUD fell 30% in 2 weeks just after I got home last September, but then the dollar started going up again and they had the 10% discount.
Then again, I've been leaving in high season for the past 3 years anyway... (I just wish I could afford more then 1 LONE4 per year)
