Anyone else here, like me, who's been waiting for QR to join OW fully for the xONEx SEZ benefit? For those who don't know, OW service to SEZ ended years ago, and they haven't updated the xONEx fares ex-SEZ because there's been no OW service, so it's irrelevant. Thus they are absurdly low. QR has daily SEZ-DOH service, raising the possibility of getting a verrry cheap AONEx ticket.

QR joined the Global Explorer fares on 1 March. I called the AA RTW desk to try to get one right at the start. When I called in the morning, the agent told me that they were still loading the fares into the system and I should call back in the afternoon. When I did (and I randomly got the same agent, -- he remembered me), the fares had been loaded, but they were also current. I checked on an AONE3 (I think) ex-SEZ, and it was USD $10,800. I had been hoping for half that. Darn.
