I still see the old prices in EF, so possibly someone could autoprice and ticket ex-OSL at the old price if they do it immediately. I won't be in a position to purchase for another six weeks or so.
Do you see that the ex-ARN fare has also changed or is it the same ($6823.51 USD)?

I was just informed that RTW fares will be going up imminently, especially OSL and possibly other Europe originations. I was also told there will be some unspecified rule changes, and that the rule about Australian trans-cons is more restrictive now, only one transcan total (it used to be interpreted as allowing up to three trans-cons as long as each line is only used one, now it is only one line total).

Oh no! I was planning to book a DONE4 for 2 in early July. Originating in NRT. It's for a departure in January. I'm travelling for the next 3 weeks so I was planning to take care of it when I get back. Should I try to book now or I'm already too late & the price increase as occured? My itinerary is valid & priced on the OW planning tool. I just have not called the AA RTW desk to book it yet.

That's been the ex-USA price for a DONE4 for years. I suspect you got one or more noobs at the RTW desk who didn't know/care how to pull the correct fare. Not saying it's wrong, just suspicious.

I don't think anyone expected it would mean a price drop. I certainly never intended to suggest it. It seemed obvious to me that it meant that ex-Europe prices would become more than ex-Japan, and together with the information that ex-Europe prices would be going up, the obvious implication is that ex-Japan prices would either remain the same or go up but not by as much.

I just checked EF shows ex-NRT to be: $6,059 / $7,204 / $8,264 / $9030.
Let hear from those who try to start from KHI. Pakistan is a little shaky for me personally. Never been to Pakistan though.
Be interesting to see how people structure their itins with ex-KHI.

Great to know that. So now ex-OSL is cheaper than ex-NRT in all DONEx itins.

Then there's the issue of scheduling. I would need to be able to schedule in and out with maybe a few hours. I'm not interested in a 10 hour connection in Pakistan, such as the one I'm in the middle of right now at NRT. I can be pretty flexible on origin and destination airports; but I really have no interest in that long a layover at KHI.
Speaking of NRT, be aware that the regular Sakura F lounge in the main building is currently closed for renovation. It's apparently being replaced temporarily (I hope) by a smaller windowless F lounge upstairs. And I was just informed that the Sakura F lounge in the satellite terminal is closed between 1100 and 1500. So I guess that I'll be heading
