NRT at $8353 isn't bad (but my practice for many years has been to originate in the Southern Hemisphere in January or February). I recall an ex-JNB price hike last year, but I thought it had gone from $6k to $8k, and that one airline still had the old fares listed.
I feel your pain as I am in SA now and the last few months the rand has gone from 14.5 to 11.5. I purchased mid slide when it was apparent Zuma was going. Oslo is another option.

I knew it had gone up but I didn't realize it had shot up quite so much! What happened with MPM? $9k is steep!

Too many people booking within a short amount of time made it clear to oneworld that the price was too low and was thus increased. I believe in the case of Mozambique, they changed the fare currency from MZN to USD. (Which is better then what they did with the EGP and remove the fare from sale)

The base fares just about doubled, back on August 1st 2016
(I bought 2 RTWs in the July :D On the 2nd one now)
But the fares are still quoted in MZN (the local currency), not in USD

I'm now halfway through my ex-TLV RTW bought and first flown last December. No questions were asked at TLV (nor was the itinerary checked by any security personnel/authority at all - even when my itinerary had a connection to a Muslim country right after!), so it's not that bad of a place to start for those looking for a bargain.

EF seems to indicate it is still denominated in MZN.

I believe there are IATA rules about which currencies in which you are allowed to denominate a fare.

Still, hardly the bargain it was. MZN 475,000 = ~ USD $7,723

Do you mind me asking what price it was out of TLV? I assume the connection to a Muslim country was TLV - AMM?

I have been unable to get a price out of ISB, despite the fact that QR flies there and other cities in Pakistan are valid as starting points. Does anyone know - is this just a quirk of the Oneworld website, or are there no published DONE3/4 fares from ISB?

THANKS!

With South Africa and Mozambique being so expensive, I'm considering NRT and OSL for 2019. I like to start in January/February and visit warm places, then go to U.S., then Caribbean, then Europe later when it's warm.

Here are two routings I'm considering. Curious if people have comments:

nrt-sin-syd-adl-per-syd-dfw-san-phl-gcm-dfw-lax-lhr-mad-jnb-hkg-nrt

47,200 miles. Disadvantage is QF J SYD-DFW. Starting in NRT will be quite cold in Jan/Feb, but I can overnight at the Narita Hilton for a good price (would want an overnight for safety, in case there's a problem with the positioning flights).

osl-doh-jnb-syd-adl-per-syd-sin-hkg-dfw-san-phl-gcm-dfw-lax-lhr-osl

45,303 miles. Routing HKG-DFW means I can upgrade to F using AA SWUs. Downside is I earn virtually no AA EQD nor RDM for such a long flight. I guess the Radisson Blu Airport Hotel, Oslo Gardermoen is connected by walkway, which is far more convenient than the shuttle required for the Narita Hilton, although I wouldn't earn Hilton (or Starwood) points. Upside is I can visit Such Africa during their summer instead of ours.

Don't think you can touch Asia thrice

I suggest booking QF's JFK-SYD service instead

It's a DONE4 (Asia, Europe/Middle East, North America, South West Pacific)

pyffii Mar 5, 2018 2:21 pm
thanks Calchas I pretty much expected your confirmation but I am not that keen on JFK-LAX_MEL !!!....Guess I might just have to do it though...Cheers
