I know everyone would like to be able to compare the data, but that just isn't easily doable in a free-www-server type of service like geocities. The 3 by 4 prices (at least) per country makes it difficult to show both sets of data. To make life easier on everyone, and not to mess up Netscape, this chart is being maintained by a plain old text (vim) editor with nothing but HTML. Now, if you can find someone to reorganize the data into a database format (again, not possible with geocities) and can get one of the currency exchange services (xe.net, oanda, etc) to provide you with live/day currency rates, then you are welcomed to do so. I would not be interested in punching in 30-40 exchange rates a day/week manually.
If anyone has a precise recommendation on how to normalize this data, I am willing to implement it, as well I would assume Darrien of the *A price chart. He would be facing the same issue.
PS: There is a link to the xe.net currency personal currency exchange service at the bottom of the price chart. Simply click on the spinning currency symbol, next to the link to the *A price chart.
PS2: Heard that there is a price increase coming November 1. If you
paid for your OW RTW tickets before then, you will not face this price increase. Historically, this would be a 3-5% increase.
