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.

so what is the correct price?
(i agree its likely to be an old price, but not sure if a current one actually exists)

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.

Route: MPM-xDOH-ORD-xDFW-EGE-xLAX-JFK-HKG-DPS-xHKG-LHR//ARN-xHEL-PRG-xLHR-CPT-JNB

Thanks for this - great to know.

aa wouldnt ley me fly scl xjfk hkg and,i m forced to buy scl xdfw hkg which has 150 yr. i guess 3600 usd is possible for done5 assuming one only pay for qr yq at the beginning.

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.

so what is your long haul aa segment?

Maybe EGE should really be EZE

Wow, nice fares!

No long haul AA. DOH-ORD on QR is AA code share as A was only available on AA code share, not available of QR flight number. I also am doing CX JFK-HKG as AA code share.

EGE is supposed to be EGE as that is my second home. Not to mention EZE would make it a AONE5, which it is not.
