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?

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?

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)?

From the rules:

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...

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...

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.
