BigKing - as you are based in the US. This rule does not apply. You can get any US based Oneworld airline or travel agency to assist you in your ticket. The fare is based on which country you are originating from. But you MUST still start your travels from that country.

This 'special' privilege is only for the OneWorld RTW fares. Other RTW fares are based on the higher fare rule application. ie if the US fare is higher than say the ex-JNB fare, as long as the ticket is purchased in the US, the US fare applies. This rule however does not apply for fares purchased in Canada.
