FlyerTalk Forums - Oneworld booking and pricing experiences

Hi ernestnywang , thanks for your help last time with the taxes calculations. I have flown the first 2 segments of the itinerary and am now finalizing the rest. Currently I am looking at this:
...-JFK-(AA)-MEX-(AA)-xDFW-(AA)-SEA-(AS)-HNL-(AS)-SFO-(AA)-JFK-(JL)-HND-(JL)-SYD-(QF)-AKL-(CX)-HKG-(CX)-BKK-(JL)-NRT-(QF)-xDOH-(QF)-OSL

These segments seem to be available as codeshares:
JFK-HND: JL5 or AA8402
SYD-AKL: QF145 or AA7337
BKK-NRT: JL708 or AA8412
NRT-DOH: QR807 or JL7995

Could you check what the difference in taxes would be if I managed to book these codeshares?

Real taxes and regulatory fees are the same for all carriers on the same route/class of travel.
Airline carrier surcharges can vary.

Assume the flights to/from DOH are QR Qatar and not QF Qantas.
Starting in JFK and ending in OSL? Or starting/ending OSL?

I keep saying "taxes" when I mean "surcharges" (YR/YQ). My apologies.

Yes, fixed.

I started in OSL, but have already flown OSL-LHR-JFK, so the itinerary is paused there now.

The highlighted routing is invalid. From the fare rules:

4(b) Travel must be in a continuous forward direction between TC1 - TC2 - TC3.
Backtracking within a continent is permitted except as follows:

Backtracking between Hawaii and other points in North America is not permitted.

Good catch. Back to the drawing board... Would still like to know the difference in taxes for those other segments.

Matrix doesn't show the surcharges that QF and others charge on DONE itineraries, like ernestnywang was showing earlier in the thread.

Currently in Dallas in the middle of a DONE 4. Going westward. MAD-MEX-JFK-LAX-ANC-DFW-HND...All my 16 segments are booked after that.

Can I switch that departure from DFW to ORD and pay the $125 fee? Or would that switch from DFW to ORD count as an additional segment (I don't have room for)?

Adding a surface segment DFW-ORD will add a segment to your AONE4 routing.
From the rules:

Quote:

(h) A minimum of 3 and maximum of 16 segments, including surface segments between any 2 airports, are permitted for the entire journey.

I think you would be best advised to change the ANC flight to ORD, if that can be done. Otherwise as has been said you are adding a segment, which no can do.

I think that ship has already sailed as Viajero Millero says he is currently in Dallas, but if not AS has two flights to ORD, one daily redeye and one 5x/week early morning.

We will be booking a RTW early 2024 (for travel in 2025). I had originally planned to start in Oslo but was wondering whether I would be making a significant saving once I take into account an overnight stay in Oslo and return flights. There is also the convenience of starting our journey at our local airport (MAN). Can anyone give me an approximate difference for the following itinerary (DONE5) starting/finishing in either OSL or MAN?

(MAN or OSL)-DOH-NBO-DOH-PER-SYD-CHC-SYS-HKG-BOM-KUL-SIN-HND-LAX-JFK-DOH-(MAN or OSL)

Thanks...

£6910 MAN v £5112 OSL…..have you not got an EF account?

Thanks, that's helpful, quite a difference. I opened an EF account last week but not used in anger, was not aware that you could price a RTW trip on EF, will have a play in the New Year...

Only the base fare from each origin AFAIK.

Assuming your route is fixed, then the other cost variables will be who you book via/who tickets it and who you fly with on each segment including prime and codeshares etc.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 2:11 am.
