When I input either CAI or OSL into the pricing tool, the field doesn't populate and it's impossible to proceed. Is anybody else seeing this?
Are there any alternative tools or recommendations for pricing an RTW ticket originating in these destinations?

OSL is ok in my tool

I haven't been able to get the tool to price anything recently as everything has been well beyond the scope of d DGLOB34. But all of those did include ANC which may be a problem per the post by flyhurl above. Next time I'll try SEA as a proxy and see if it makes a difference.

Good morning people!
I have the following thought: Trying to build the following in order to credit to BAC. The goal is to get the 50% from most of the airlines based on miles flown (QR,JL) Question is the following: If i book the ticket with BA, will they credit that based on spending rather distance flown as i presume? And if yes, how can i circumvent that? Segments are the following: OSL-DOH (LHR) BA\QR DOH-LAX (QR) LAX-HND (JL) HND-SIN (JL) SIN-OSL (QR) I calculate a potential of 13640 nTPs without the OSL-LHR leg. Let me know please your suggestions and possible additions that won't skyrocket the price and maximise nTPs income Thanks! |

Thanks! You could also do the same ex LAX in the US. LAX-JFK-ANC-LAX on AS (25% ntps/mi, but better than zero). Or LAX-JFK-CUN-LAX with middle segment on AA if ANC doesn’t work. |
Thank you for the recommendations. My concerns are three. 1. To get something with not many segments in order to reduce hop on-off and 2. To squeeze them in a short period of time and last and extremely important, not to have them booked as BA codeshares that will defeat the purpose of this potential run

Hi Leonidasc,
I just finished my first DONE3 trip. 20k nTP in 19 days :D

QR, JL and AY offers more TPs. If you want to take as less flights as possible you can consider these long routes: DOH-LAX on QR, HEL-LAX on AY, and HND-JFK on JL; then make your route twisty within a TC. For example if you travel from east to west, you can land on west coast (DOH-LAX), take a transcon flight to the east coast, then departure to Tokyo (JFK-HND). AS offers more TPs than AA on transcon flights. I've built a handy online D/AONEx nTP calculator, initially for myself, but now I've made it public: https://xonex.pages.dev. It works on any D/AONEx routes with BA/AY/IB progam (it uses exact airport coordinates - results are not accurate if compared to the offical calculator! Expect small errors ±20 TP per seg). Hope that helps :) |

It is about which airline's code is attached to the flight number. AA 9999 (operated by your neighbor's pickup truck) will credit as an AA segment according to AA earning chart. |

Hi Leonidasc,
I just finished my first DONE3 trip. 20k nTP in 19 days :D Interesting. I've never thought abou it. I'm not sure but based on my understanding to BA's new rule, TPs on partner flights (not AA/IB) should always be calculated using miles. On their website they say spend based TP are awarded on "any commercial British Airways, American Airlines and Iberia marketed flights". If your flight don't have a BA/AA/IB flight number it's not a BA/AA/IB marketed flight. Adding more legs to your plan won't increase the final price too much. Only taxes and YQ (as long as you stay DONE3). I believe YQ is priced and charged by your ticketing airline and it may be different across airlines. See #804. As for taxes just aviod places with high air travel taxes like the UK. QR, JL and AY offers more TPs. If you want to take as less flights as possible you can consider these long routes: DOH-LAX on QR, HEL-LAX on AY, and HND-JFK on JL; then make your route twisty within a TC.

So, where to start. i used the OW tool to try a 16 segment RTW and came back as 75000 NOK, about $7000. Thought that OSL was supposed to be cheaper?

Currently ExpertFlyer indicates the DONEx base fare for Norway is 3 Continent - NOK52398 4 Continent - NOK57959 5 Continent - NOK66185 6 Continent - NOK75022 You need to add taxes, levies and surcharges to whatever the base fare is. |
DONE3 is 54000 NOK plus 13000+ in taxes/fees.
