Please contact the reservation centre of any of the oneworld member airlines to get more information on pricing or complete the itinerary for oneworld Explorer on the oneworld website to get your actual fare quote before going to booking.

I am sorry for this inconvenience.
That’s a pretty poor excuse. The fares listed on the site were the base fares before taxes. Just what is wrong with having a disclaimer next to the price list?

"Prices do not include taxes and other airport and government fees. Final price can change based on route flown and exchange rate changes."

'legal minimum requirements'? What requirements? Whose requirements? IATA, ICAO, some government?
