Her fee is included (at least according to her email)....
I think the combination of Japanese fee rules and UL charging policies may make the difference in prices.
Why her rather than AA RTW (which I have used in the past)....? There were a number of email exchanges on the US segments. And those (which do not and did not used AA's recommended routes) combined with QF having zero D class long haul aggravated the ex change lengths. For once my source of funds is in Australia not the USA.
And besides I support the SriLanka people where I can....
Though it has been a while since the country saw me locally wandering
