What departure points are you trying to search for? xONE3's are not available from the southern hemisphere.



As an Australian, I can access a foreign website and get a price on a good or service that is pre-tax. The US is obviously the perfect example, where taxes are added last. I can never work out why the oneworld website was so different. Furthermore, if for some reason it did have to display an all inclusive price, surely the site could have quoted a basic itinerary, noted such and stated 'From AUDx'.
Mail ordering something from overseas doesn't include tax unless the total value is over the customs import limit, at which time customs will charge tax before releasing the item.
The oneworld booking tool was able to sell tickets out of Australia. As such, taxes are required to be shown in the price.
The tool does show the total price - once a route and class has been chosen.
