HA flights post-22APR2026 are considered prime AS flights and can already be booked in xONEx. At least this is allowed on when autopriced by Sabre. The flight information of these flights shows "ONEWORLD," too.

360 days on Amadeus but some airlines (such as BA) have a slightly shorter release period.

Once Alaska AS took over Hawaiian Airlines HA as an airline does not exist. Always found it strange oneworld stated HA would join oneworld. To me more that AS schedules~routes would expand greatly with the former HA operations fully integrated into the AS. HA as such does not join oneworld.

From what I have read there is now 1 airline operating certificate, with all flights AS prime flight numbers. The “join” date seems to correlate with the IATA seasons. Maybe when they turn off the HA reservation system and add all HA flights to the AS reservation system.

From a legal perspective, yes all HA flights are treated as AS flights now, but the HA flights are not AS prime flights yet from a reservation and ticketing point of view. These AS*/HA flights are AS8xxx (4 digits) now and are not considered oneworld yet. They will become AS8xx (3 digits) on 22APR and then consdered oneworld flights.

I don't know why AS/HA chose to set the effective date on 22APR, but that is indeed the date HA will switch back from Amadeus to Sabre. It is NOT the date that marks the IATA season change, which is 29MAR in 2026, nor is it the date North American daylight saving will start. HA used to be on Sabre, like AS, but chose to migrate to Amadeus just not so long before the AS merger. On hindsight, the effort was definitely wasted.

Thank you so much for everyone's help! I got the ticket priced and purchased with TA.LAS-HNL I have to break it to LAS-LAX-HNL, I am wondering if I can "re-route" it after April 2026, to a direct LAS-HNL. But the price is good, I am not complaining :)

By April 2026 are you referring to HA?
Previously when an airline left or joined oneworld you were locked into the rules(~airlines) in place at the time. That was good or bad, depending on point of view. So could not use "new" airlines.
Always considered it strange OW considered HA as a "new" airline. For HA to me its not a "new" airline as such, but a step increase in AS routes. HA as an airline has ceased to exist.

You can already book LAS-HNL on AS code after 22APR. Why wait? In fact, if you are still within a day and can void the ticket, I would simply change the routing to LAS-HNL now, so you can free up 1 sector and save the 125USD re-route fee.

To demonstrate, AS875/24OCT/LASHNL, for example, can already be priced in xONEx.

I assume "TA" means Travel Agent, in which case would you mind revealing who you used? I'm attempting to stock-pile a list of viable purchasing options for future reference. Many thanks.

I used Amex travel ;)

Thanks

Oh! How much do they charge for booking, date changes and re-routes?

Hello everyone,

I'm researching a DONE4 RTW trip for my honeymoon. I tried to get in contact with Propeller Travel and paid the £50 fee for their RTW planning service, but it's been 10 days and I haven't had a response, so I thought I'd ask for some assistance from this board. Below is our current itinerary, which prices up as 57,959 NOK fare + 19,065 NOK in taxes = 77,024 NOK. I'm trying to figure out a few things:

1. Are there any red flags in terms of code choices that could reduce the taxes a little? Or do codeshares not affect the taxes, only the metal flown? We'd also be interested in taking the Qantas flight SYD-JFK (via AKL) instead of AA, but doing so seems to increase the fees substantially.
2. I'd be aiming to credit to BAEC - should I try to use an agent that will book the AA transpacific / transatlantic legs with a QR, or other, code?
3. Pending the above answers, is the AA RTW desk the best port of call to book this itinerary? I'm unable to book OSL-DOH as the first flight using the OneWorld tool as noted in the wiki etc. We are also going to likely push out the final legs (from ANU-JFK onwards) into 2027, and add another US round trip which I think would be permitted still as segments 15 and 16 (including DPS-SIN as a ground segment).

Really appreciate any guidance anyone can provide - thanks.

What I figured out and as far as I know also Matt explained it in his video. As soon as you have any QF flights the prices take jump upwards. So I tried to avoid them as much as possible. Maybe you can move your SIN - BNE flight to something going towards SYD or MEL on another airline. As you want to credit to BAC then you might fly via BKK to MEL on AY?

QF are reputed to pile on the charges like they're going out of style so you might want to investigate alternatives for SIN-BNE for example. I don't know anything about other Australian domestic carriers but it might also be worthwhile looking into options with them outside the xONEx ticket for the internal Australia legs rather than using QF.

You seem to confusing real taxes, as paid to government and regulatory authorities, and carrier surcharges (YQ YR). Real taxes are they same for all carriers on the same routes/class of travel. Can/will be different real taxes for stopovers (+24hrs) vs transits

Domestic airlines in Australia are QF Qantas, VA Virgin Australia, REX and JQ Jetstar (LLC owned by QF). And some very small regional airlines.

Depends on the point of origin and even ticketing carrier. I realize the poster you replied to was asking about an ex-OSL, and that point of origin is fully exposed to high YQ / YR, ex-TYO is not. You can have long haul QF codes on ex-TYO without much effect on price. I have done it on both QF issued and CX issued tickets. There are also some ticketing carriers that don't add YQ / YR for all OW carriers, so even ex-OSL you might be able to get away with QF codes without the high cost if you ticket with a travel agent and target certain plating carriers.
