What's a ballpark price range? We'd go cheapest season, flexible about dates (at this point anyway)....

In addition to base fares you need to pay local taxes a fees. These are route dependent so cannot be quoted until you do an itinerary. Expect to be a few hundreds. Example post 2609 $334

Base fare varies by country of departure
Not every place has a OW service e.g.
Tonga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fua%CA...tional_Airport. Unsure if OW connect partner FJ can be used
PPT only to/from SCL and cant go on to Aus/NZ--->no OW flight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faa%27...tional_Airport

L = economy
D = business
The last digit is the number of continents 3, 4, 5 or 6.
All have the same restriction of maximum 16 segments (Many years ago was 32). Makes LONE6 & DONE6 poor value. LONE5 DONE5 not much better.
Dates can be changed
