Before oneWorld's RTW fare, there was and is the Global Explorer Fare. This fare is available in some countries which also has the oneworld fare. It goes on a maximum permitted mileage of 28,500 miles, and the fare is generally cheaper than the oneworld 4 continent fare. In some places, it's cheaper than the 3 continent fare. Interestingly enough, in UK and Australia, this fare renamed The oneWorld Global Explorer fare, and only this product is available and not both.
The interesting thing about this fare is that it includes FJ (Air Pacific), LA (LanChile) and AR (Aerolineas Argentina) in addition to the other oneWorld partners as their list of carriers which can utilise this fare.
Do we see AR, FJ and LA joining 1w soon?
