I've had hundreds of fares show up on expert flyer searches before. Granted, they were point to point searches and not RTW type products...

Has that fare gone up? EF shows AGLOB34 ex-MRU at $12,108.00 (with a DONE4/DGLOB34 at $7,642.00).

There was some effort a few years ago by the person who used to maintain the xONEx spreadsheet to work with EF to make the spreadsheet available to EF subscribers. The idea being that it would be more convenient and easier for people to use the spreadsheet to check all sorts of things at once, and at the same time be less expensive for EF, since they could update the spreadsheet weekly or monthly rather than have every subscriber who's interested make repeated queries, each of which incurs some cost to EF. Unfortunately, nothing came of it.

If you read the thread that is linked it was someone inquiring about an old relic fare that was last good a number of years before. It has now been updated I would assume which is what you are seeing.

If you really require an immediate price, you can price it up on www.oneworld.com

JNB and CAI are among the cheapest options.

Base fare ex-CAI is USD$6981.

KRT isn't coming up, perhaps it has been pulled. It was higher than ex-CAI last time it was updated though.

Use the www.oneworld.com RTW Planner to find the total price, as it depends on the routing, airlines, taxes and other charges.

Go to:
www.expertflyer.com
and follow the directions to get a quote for an rtw fare. Or as suggested above price it out at oneworld.com using the booking tool.

Also look at the other posts in this thread that list cheaper starting points and the link to a post in another thread that lists a few. Also the price from Sudan has gone up tremendously and has been posted in the KRT thread:

If your total purpose is to get AA Exec Plat status, you can probably do it for less than USD4K. Look at the Mileage Run forum.

See the discussion when you asked a similar question last year:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...ne3-4-5-a.html
Doing an xonex as a mileage run to get status isn't really that cost effective anymore. See also this recent thread:

Yes, he would need to fly 66,667 miles on a DONE or AONE with 5 or 6 continents needed to reach that mileage. Not exactly a cheap way to do EXP.

xONEx tickets have an advanced purchase requirement.

If your sole aim is to achieve AA EXP then this is not the cheapest way to do it, you'll most likely be looking at around USD$10,000 with positioning flights.

I'd also question if its really worth spending that sort of money to achieve AA EXP from scratch.
