Hi,
I like to use the RTW planning tool for a quick quote on RTW fare, just need to enter the starting city.
But I cant seem to find the link now, it always push me to the manual planning page, has oneworld remove it auto tool?

Is this the link you're looking for?

Thanks for the response.
This is what I call the manual page, the auto page is where you first just input starting city, choose economy or business, then it will give you the base fare exclude surcharge.

The link should start with ra. something if I recall correctly

Have you tried putting in a starting city to starting city as first leg using the "manual tool", The tool has a new look from a couple years ago, but I don't recall the one you're talking about. But Expert Flyer will do that for sure.

I was referring to this link https://rtw-va.oneworld.com/
here's the photo I found online
I guess OW taken this page down

Is that the much hyped “AI” assisted booking page?

Looks like it. Bad experiences such as with this booking page and various other poor implementations of AI (so many frustrating chatbots are now the interface to organisations) put me off engaging with AI, happy to wait until the the technology has matured.

Yes, it does seem to have disappeared. I tried to use it for actual itinerary and it was difficult and buggy.

The example you shared is very interesting to get approximate pricing quickly without have to enter dates line by line.

Hopefully the AI tool gets improved and returns. And they keep the manual one too. Can we have both please :) ?

yes, my use case is purely to get a quick quote on price, as I dont have EF subscription. I am casual traveler, targeting once a year RTW trip.

I'd be happy to check a few cities in Expert Flyer for you.

Just booked HND-HKG-LHR-MAN-DOH-DXB-DFW-HNL-SYD-NOU-BNE-HKG-NRT as my next adventure, adding on a continent to avoid going straight back to Japan from Hawaii. Didn't maximise my US segments as I only have two weeks to do New Calendonia and Hawaii, didn't want to do too many other cities, plus I wanted to have the 15 hour QSuite from DOH...

Good news: Fairly simple to ticket and pay, and by reducing my UK time to less than 24 hours my taxes were kept low. Bad news: The continued disconnect between ExpertFlyer and AA desk availability gets worse. In this case my trouble was the CX HKG-LHR segments.

This is my back-up routing after it became clear that Fiji/Oman weren't going to be joining oneworld anytime soon: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onew...lications.html

It's not getting worse on a systemic basis. The flights you were looking for, between the cities you want to fly, on the dates you prefer, showed a disparity between the AA RTW desk and EF. There has been no systemic degradation of AA RTW desk availability.

I reckon you've missed a segment in there. It's lacking the 15 hour QR QSuite leg you mentioned. Suspect you're going MAN-DOH-DXB-DOH-DFW...

Hi all,

I’m midway through my BA-issued RTW ticket (DGGLOB34 fare basis) and wondering if anyone has experience dealing with BA on date changes.

Here’s the process so far: Reservation agents put in new flights and send them to ticketing, which emails me to contact reservations again within 24-72 hours. They confirm that the fare remains the same (no repricing, changes were strictly date only), yet they insist on a $125 change fee per ticket.

I had numerous issues with the first half of this ticket, but they were eventually resolved before travel without extra charges. This time, however, it feels like talking to a wall.

I get that the airline has systems in place to prevent “free rides,” but when they’re clearly misapplying the fare rules, how do you challenge it effectively? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Can I just check/confirm, a stopover in London (which may include an overnight stay) for less than 24 hours avoids UK Air Passenger Duty?
