It's over. Just got off the phone with the AA RTW desk. Called and asked for the ex-Sudan prices for AONE4,5 and 6. She asked me to wait a minute while she looked them up.

Then.... "WOW. They've gone up!!"

New prices:

AONE4: USD $15,443
AONE5: USD $17,590
AONE6: USD $20,614

Not including taxes, fuel surcharges, etc.

Also asked about Yemen; it has not gone up. Looks like this was targeted at Sudan.

And I had just established contact with Waleed. He was very nice. He's going to lose a lot of business.
