Need to book 50 days in advance
Travel Mon-Thurs (other days are slightly higher)
No blackout dates
No minimum stay
Max stay 12 months
Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights/dates

Has anyone been able to book this fare? I have played around with dates but not found anything yet.

This fare represents at least 50% off and at 150% EQM's, is not so bad.
Nothing to SYD but to GIG (RIO) the Bus Class airfare comes out to almost $4k return, not too bad but no great deal either out of Dulles.

Ouch, that's domestic first class unless they've changed something. I know they market it as business but I don't think they have anything resembling business class seats.

SQ has been quoting all in fares for a while now. I just saw MH also do the same recently. The Singapore authorities have asked all airlines to start quoting all in fares in all their ads now, I guess similar to UK retailers having to quote all prices inclusive of VAT.

Not for *A; these were pulled and calculated off EF.

All the OW fares are posted on the OW website, sorted by country/product. It would be good if *A did the same thing.

You're probably thinking of WearyBizTrvlr 's RTW comparison spreadsheet which has not been updated very recently, but still a good research tool.

Why can't they break this out into its own forum. That way we could mark anything gone as such in title...

You can get them from the *A RTW mileage calculator tool, but it first requires you to enter a dummy itinerary.
