So yesterday I signed up as a (very part time) home-based TA and got access to both Sabre and Amadeus, so thought I'd try out my Sabre keyboarding skills (there's an oxymoron) to see what changes in the star file fares I could find since the last general updating. I've done just a selection of countries for OWE prices, since cutting and pasting into FT format rates a 12 on the PITA scale.
Anyway, below are a few Asia origin points, priced as of today. I've included the last FT-posted fares on the line below so you can see the changes. On my spreadsheet it looks like most AONExs have gone up by 10%; DONExs by 4% - 10%, and LONExs have stayed more or less flat. Japan didn't go up by as much as other places, including Sri Lanka, so for the moment Japan is pretty competitive with CMB in some fare categories. (I haven't done the work of currency conversion except for a couple of personal tests.)
(A couple of Africa and Euro start points will be in the next post. I'm also looking at GlobeEx and Circle fares to see if there's anything shocking.)
If anybody knows diddly about how to look up rules and fares for RTWs on Amadeus, especially ones BA might use in, say, Romania, I'd be grateful for the guidance.
