Looks like coach actually went down but everything else went up.

Here are the old fares:

MONE3 - GIB£1499
MONE4 - GIB£1799
MONE5 - GIB£2079
MONE6 - GIB£2379

DONE3 - GIB£2499
DONE4 - GIB£3099
DONE5 - GIB£3499
DONE6 - GIB£2999

AONE3 - GIB£4160
AONE4 - GIB£4590
AONE5 - GIB£5140
AONE6 - GIB£5820

Frustratingly the largest rise is on the DONE3 which is the fare I want http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Is GIB still the cheapest (or one of the cheapest) location to purchase OWE tickets from? Or are there better locations? We bought our OWE RTW tickets there last year and were thinking about doing it again this year - next month.

Thanks.

The current cheapest for first or business class is in your backyard - CAI. Fares from GIB have gone up substantially.

You can download an Excel spreadsheet with the current fares and a currency conversion program from http://www.exmo.net/OWE-030301.xls .

Thanks, ExMo! I did download your spreadsheet. The CAI prices are dated Nov 2001 - and yes those are extremely attractive for the "A" tickets. Do you know if there are any more recent ones by any chance?

Same question for AGLOB3 and AGLOB4 RTW fares.

Now if I can just get there and back before the war....

Thanks!

Great spreadsheet - what a help http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Anyone have a contact with a TA in CAI - can't believe that F, is the same price as J in GIB !!

The prices were current as of the 03 Aug 2002 Sabre files that were recently obtained by UserMark. I believe they are in effect today.

I, too, plan on making a quick trip there to p/u a ticket -- hopefully before the war starts.

Look again. Here are the fares ex-CAI in GBP.

Class > AONE* DONE*
3 cont £2,885 £2,397
4 cont £3,328 £2,663
5 cont £3,774 £2,929
6 cont £4,217 £3,196


Book and ticket through BA.

Would someone please decode MONE3 etc,
Thanks

The base OWE fare code is ONE. It is preceded by a letter: A, D or M, to indicate the class of service: first, business and coach, respectively. It is suffixed with a number: 3, 4, 5 or 6, to indicate the number of continents purchased. Thus, MONE3 is a 3 continent, coach Oneworld Explorer fare.

The Global Explorer fare is similar using a base of GLOB and a suffix number indicating the thousands of miles purchased.

Will take up advice & book via BA Travel shop in UK & collect in CAI.

The great thing with CAI over DEL (where I was thinking of buying as well) is only 15k BA miles to get there. DEL = 25k http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

With current BA miles, looks like I'll get 2 x LHR-CPT in J with BA for Oct wedding trip + pick up PLT with AA & 40k miles on the same trip in F.

On the topic of CAI...does anyone know what tax is applied to these tickets?

Too bad there's not a cost-effective way to take advantage of the CAI fare from a LAX home base.

I'd be really interested to hear how you get on doing this. If the BA Travel Shop co-operate I think we have found a cheap and easy route to cheap OWE tix! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
