I've finished copying all the other OW files that I could find. There's no general index that I know of, so you have to know the name of the file that you want to see. If anyone knows of any other files that are of interest, let me know.

That's great, Mark. Thanks. If you happen to run across the new circle trip, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have updated my Excel spreadsheet for OWE fare currency conversions with the latest prices supplied here by UserMark and DP-UK. The basic fare data is the same as on FewMiles site with the exception of the following countries that have updated fares:
Australia
Bangladesh
Djibouti
Gibraltar
Hungary
India
Latvia
Lebanon
New Zealand
Norway
Pakistan
Philippines
Sri Lanka
Yugoslavia
The spreadsheet contains a simple, harmless macro used to assure proper sorting of the converted fares. The currency conversions contained in the sheet are to US$ as of 1 March 2003. It contains instructions for converting to other currencies. It can be downloaded here and is about a 300K download (<1 min @ 56K).

Thanks to the sharp eyes of headintheclouds a few typos have been found and corrected in the fare conversion spreadsheet. These involve Gibraltar, Latvia, and Lebanon. All the errors were obvious if looking at these countries (e.g. 6 continent fare less than 3 continent, etc.). It is only worth re-downloading the sheet if you are considering one of these countries as an origin.
Sorry for the problems but typing has never been one of my strong suits.

There were a bunch of files updated last week. One of them seems to be a new one for Global Explorer originations in SWP. Good luck trying to decipher it. The stopover and routing rules contradict themselves all over the place. Oh, and the Hawaii-SJU issue seems to have been answered.

I did a comparison of the OWE new and old files that UserMark posted. It appears as though the only substantive rule difference was the addition of a specific limitation of only one flight between NA and Hawaii. There is a bunch of additional new information but it is administrative in nature and mostly pertains to proper fare calculation.
The two changed pricing files, Europe and North America do not have any price changes in them nor any other real differences. Interestingly, although the Europe price file is dated 06 March 03, the prices shown ex-GIB do not reflect the increase reported by DP-UK.

For a while I think the Australian "one transcontinental flight" exclusion for travel to Africa didn't have the "for origination PER/NZ" requirement, but I see it's there now. I wonder why, in times like these, the airlines choose to make things tougher for their customers instead of offering a welcome mat.

Benoit, I've kept all the old versions. Things might be a little hard to find since they changed the names of all the files, but if you follow the "ONE EXPLORER FARES", you will see a link to the old versions "OW FARES INDEX". They now have all the fares in one file, whereas it used to be scatterd among six.
