Thanks, serfty and Gardyloo, for the explanations.

So, we will not be able to see the RTW fares for various countries, as oneworld stops publishing them. How do people arbitrage to know which countries have the cheaper fares?

A relative wanted to do LONE4: SYD-LAX (s/o) - LON (s/o) - SGN (s/o) - SYD. I tried to price it in oneworld website and it said to contact QF!

I read in one of the posts here that it might be cheaper to start from AKL than from SYD. I would like to find out if this was correct. But, how?

You can try you own dummy bookings from various destinations using the online booking tool, or use a GDS based enquiry tools such as KVS or ExpertFlyer.
