Does anyone know the base fare for a DONE4 ex - that city north of Durban with the Portuguese influence? I have tried using the oneworld tool, and it allows me to choose the direct QR flight to DOH as a starter flight, but I am assuming that you still cannot get a quote with QR being the first carrier?? If that is the case - does anyone have the base fare? Thanks for any assistance.

No need to play games with things like that in this thread; and it just makes it that much harder for the rest of us. Take a look around and you will see that this has already been discussed openly quite a bit.

the price of expertflyer is wrong. and i doubt if one can price a done4 for 3000 usd consider that qr has yq out of mpm... and depending on routing, one is pretty much force to pay another yq for ba if trying to use close to 16 segments.

ajnaro and aaupgrade reported buying ex-MPM last week in this thread (from BA S Africa, and AA RTW desk respectively), and made no comment on pricing, so I assume it was more or less as expected from EF.

My DONE5 ex-MPM, quote from BA in South Africa:
FARE 42,140 ZAR (basic fare)
FEES 11,188.23 ZAR (taxes & carrier imposed surcharges)
FEE 250 ZAR (this fee is from BA in SA for their services)
TOTAL 56,578.23 ZAR
Route: MPM-xDOH-JFK-GIG-SCL-IPC-SCL-GIG-xJFK-HKG-NRT-SIN-CMB-HKG-xJNB-MRU-JNB
56,287 miles
My route does not pass through London, so the fees could be much higher. The route was determined by personal travel preferences, not mileage maximization. If the HLE airport ever opens up, it will replace MRU.
PS I know the figrues from BA in SA don't quite add up, but that's the way the quote was given.
The amount actually charged to my credit card on July 15th was ZAR 56,469, presumably because of exchange rate fluctuations. On that date, according to xe.com, ZAR 42,140 was USD 2933.78. The fare given today by expertflyer.com for DONE5 ex-MPM is USD 2792.02.

My ex-JNB AONE4 ticket under the old prices was $7453.29 USD; I cancelled and was refunded $7422.44 (including 5% penalty and 300 ZAR fee) thanks to FX rates so only a $31 net cost to cancel.
I purchased my ex-MPM AONE4 ticket for $5588.16 through the AA RTW desk; base fare being $4043 with $1545.16 taxes and fees. Net savings of about $1800.
Note all prices referenced above are in USD.. Also prices will vary with current MZN exchange rates relative to your home currency.

expertflyer uses the current rate of 64 to convert, while the roe is 58.9. the excess is put into surcharge. i found out by looking at my sister receipt.
