So this thread is a bit too big to find the right answer, but I am curious, what is the consensus on the cheapest country to start a OW RTW this year? |

Thank you! I guess I should have looked at it myself. I'm not lazy, I swear! I just sort of remembered that back in the day (like, ten years ago) sometimes RTWs were cheapest when purchased in out-of-the-way locations. TYO and OSL are much easier.
BTW, allset2travel very nice site and photos! ^^ Oh, those good old days! Thanks for the compliments re my travel photo site. |

Personally, I started ex-AMM DONE3 by using then valid "Canadian Exceptions"; and couple of ex-JNB (DONE4 & DONE5 respectively) due to currency exchange working in my favor!
I had one ticket ex-South Korea; I can't recall clearly right now, but it may have been the 10 year anniversary 10% discount year. Then I stopped buying them until ex-SEZ last year. I agree, those were the days. |
DXB F availability much less since A class abolished
Have just tried including LHR-DXB in an AONE3. In the past, no problem finding A class availability. Since it now has to be booked into F class, I thought, goodie, more availability. NO! Nearly all the 388s I entered in ExpertFlyer showed as available in F in April and May next, but when entering them in the Oneworld tool, only a handful showed as available. The 777s on the same route for the daytime flight are still plentiful. i sense more restrictions to the RTW F tickets in the future. |

This is a rank amateur question, but I didnt see it on the wiki.
Do I call the airline who I paid for the flight with or the airline who I am flying with if I want to make a change of time and also change city. |
Have you already flown the first flight on the ticket?

If you have not yet flown the first flight, then any changes to "ticketed points" (the set of airports you touch) will force a re-fare at the current price. If the base fare for your ticket has not changed, then this is nothing to be concerned with, although your taxes and fees might be more or might be less. If less, you do not get a refund. If more, you pay the extra. You should call the airline/agency that issued your ticket in this situation (although any OneWorld airline could handle it, many won't know how or won't want to, although the AA or BA dedicated RTW desks would handle it). |
Thanks [MENTION=40177]anabolism[/MENTION] I paid BA so about to call them now. it's a small change from one airport to another in the USA so hope it doesn't change it too much.
