Yes. that will be sufficient

From what AA SFO told me today, the US code will cease in April. Already most (all??) US and AA flights have the same flight numbers, just codeshared as needed. (eg, US5537 codeshared AA5537)

I have a few US-operated flights and probably BA 2 that could conceivably be taken as codeshares with AA, if that makes any difference. (And indeed if codesharing is even permitted.)
AA will take codeshares. They don't care if all 6 possible north american flights are on AA codes, they look for an AA code on the Asia/SWP-North America, North-South America and/or North America-Europe sectors.

Most likely reason is that the intercontinental segments are worth more of the ticket cut then the intracontinental segments. (eg, the cut of the ticket price paid out to each airline for a JFK-LHR is more then a BOS-LAX flight)

Yes, I agree

but this brought to mind our experience two years ago:
- used the AA RTW desk to set up our ex-KRT DONE4 tickets
- paid for them through a Canadian travel agent (all-in cost under USD4000 each)
- the only AA flight on the itinerary was its codeshare on RJ's AMM-JFK flight

- just a few weeks later, there was a schedule change
- and when AA changed the ticket, it quietly moved us off the AA codeshare onto the RJ marketed for that flight
- I guess AA realised just how little it was going to make off that flight:D

- so we ended up with the ticket on AA stock, with no AA segments at all!

Hi all, I have priced out an LONEX ex-Australia for May 2015, and I am looking for any obvious savings or better routings/carriers for logging miles to American (unless there is a way to log to Alaska?), plus assistance with a couple niggling problems. I am open to changing all routes, my primary itinerary is MEL, SCL(IPC), LON, SIN, HKG, MEL, with a lot of surface travel on each continent.

MEL-SYD QF
SYD-SCL QF (Cannot find any flights when I try MEL-SCL, also hard to find availability SYD-SCL without hitting North America)
SCL-IPC LAN
IPC SCL LAN
SAO-LON BA
IST-DOH QR
DOH-SIN QR
HKG-MEL CX

Total USD$4635, 11 segments.

If there were a country in eastern Asia with a significantly cheaper base fare I would be happy to book from there instead. (I am actually starting in Seattle, will fly to my start point). This fare was generated by creating the itinerary directly at rtw.oneworld.com - I did notice that after I opened the rtw tool through Qantas.com, the base fare on my existing open tab jumped by about $1500. When I opened a new browser and reopened my saved itinerary, it showed the original price. What is going on there, Qantas fees getting hidden in there? Is this what it will charge me when I actually put in my CC#? (summary page with qantas logo showed cheaper fare).

Sao Paulo - I am not attached to this over Rio, but it seemed easier to find availability to London. I can switch the BA flight to TAM for ~$250 less fees, don't know if that's worth it - seems to be a fair amount of complaining about TAM? I would like to add a flight from Porto Alegre to Sao Paulo but for some reason Porto Alegre does not show up in the booking tool (although it is shown in the Oneworld Timetables app…?).

I will be making a few short-haul flights around both Europe and Asia during my surface segments but I haven't got specific destinations yet and expect it will be cheaper to buy them separately anyway. (eg adding London-Geneva adds USD$110, I'm confident I can book that for less).

thanks for any suggestions!

There is a special rule regarding changing the first segment (before departure obviously) - but other than that, changes to date/time/oneworld carrier are free of charge
Say for the sake of argument I changed my SYD-NRT flight from JAL to Qantas. Even is the airline change is free of charge, presumably JAL and Qantas have different fuel surcharges and the originally ticketed JAL fuel surcharge would have been included in the total ticket price?

Correction. That was a very, very good price for a DONE4
Bought it in October 2012. On Nov 1st the price went through the roof:(

The base fare for a DONE4 was SDG14700 (approx USD2600)

Of course, you realise we had to go to KRT to start the journey!

Edited to add:
Just remembered that I had the old fares stored away

The base fare for an ex-KRT AONE6 was only SDG26,500 (approx USD4700)
Makes me want to weep

Pass me a phone book; I want to bang my head with it for not taking another RTW trip a few years ago!

Just paid for my ex-JNB DONE6 ticket this morning with the AA GSA in Cape Town.

EDIT: What has happened to xONEx tickets out of KRT (other than going to Sudan perhaps not being a good idea at the moment)? I can't see any xONEx tickets at all ex-KRT. I can see xONEWCx tickets though with a DONEWC4 at $2579 and Air Berlin is the only airline coming up with a price.

Edit 2: It seems to be OK to go to Khartoum with the unsafe areas located to the west and south. With a DONEWC4 at $2579 I think I can see a future holiday in Sudan coming up........

No it didn't. It is gone now, but did not go away when you state it did. :D

You might not be able to book the AA code on the QF flight if you're stopping over in Hawaii. Strange things, codeshares. Nonetheless I suspect you'll have no problems with AA issuing the ticket. I've had AA-issued DONExs that only contained domestic AA segments, nothing over-water. No big.

It's bookable as a standalone flight. But who knows. :)

You are right, I had forgotten that;)
But IIRC, the first inter-continental flight had to be with Air Berlin:)

AB still publishes xONEWC fares out of KRT, but how to book them is the challenge
And, at least according to EF, no other airlines publish RTW or multi-continent fares ex-KRT

You are correct. Using the online tool you had to use AB for the first inter-continental leg, but since I used RJ for the first leg it crapped out when AA tried to ticket. AA ended up putting me on their code for the same flight. Alas, I had to cancel the night before flying to KRT as my son was in the hospital with pneumonia. When I called to change the flights they wanted another $5,500! :eek: Ending up getting a full refund though.

I have called AB and they do not issue the tickets in question, they will refer you to the online tool for xONEx and don't know what the xONEWC are. Maybe someone who spoke German would have better luck, but it didn't sound as though AB had a dedicated RTW desk or anyone that understood the fares. Hence the pricing irregularities. :D

DONEWC3
 
Greetings,

I know that OneWorld have previously viewed a JNB-LHR-DXB/HKG (transit) - SYD-JNB as a DONEWC4 ticket.

Have they updated their terms and conditions to reflect it as a DONEWC3?
I am making my travel plans for the next few weeks and the price will shape the flights I need to take, I don't feel like paying for a 4th continent if I am solely in transit.


Regards,

Sadly it is still considered a 4-continent itinerary
(particularly annoying now that one can fly non-stop DXB-SYD/MEL or DOH-PER/MEL without even 'touching' Asia.
Here's the (unchanged) wording in the current fare rules
PHP Code:
    B.TRAVEL MUST BE A CIRCLE TRIP VIA FOLLOWING

          SERVICE OR WHEN TRANSFER WITHOUT STOPOVER IS
          UTILISED BETWEEN SWP-EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST THIS WILL
          BE CONSIDERED A FOUR CONTINENT JOURNEY.

Can you not just turn up at an Air Berlin office with a self-generated xONEWCx itinerary which meets the fare rules and ask them to issue the ticket? Qatar appears to fly KRT-DOH so it is possible to leave KRT on a OW airline.

Edit: just saw later reply indicating AB don't know what a xONEWCx is.

Since AB does not fly to KRT, it has no office there (or GSA as far as I can tell)
and if you were to turn up at one of its office elsewhere, you would then be subject to the rule:
WHEN TRAVEL ORIGINATES IN A COUNTRY FOR WHICH A SPECIFIC LOCAL CURRENCY FARE IS PUBLISHED AND THE TICKET IS SOLD IN ANOTHER COUNTRY THE FARE WILL BE THAT PUBLISHED FOR THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN CONVERTED TO THE CURRENCY OF THE COUNTRY OF SALE AT THE BANK SELLING RATE. THE RESULTANT FARE MUST NOT BE LOWER THAN THAT FROM THE COUNTRY OF SALE.
So purchase in say Germany then you pay the German price (because it is higher than the Sudan price)
Edit: just saw later reply indicating AB don't know what a xONEWCx is.
I feel pretty sure that if you asked them to ticket you an ex-Germany AONEWC4 (base price EUR12977) then they'd pretty darn quickly learn about such tickets;)

Hmmm, so presumably it could still work if you found a travel agent in Khartoum who could issue an Air Berlin xONEWCx ticket. And wiring a few thousand dollars to a random travel agent in Sudan, there's not much with could go wrong with that ;)

When we spent our few days in KRT, in April 2013, just about everybody else in the hotel were aid workers - either heading in to Darfur, which is in the West, or heading out.

We got friendly with a young Canadian guy who worked for the World Food Program (IIRC). His 3-month tour of duty in Darfur was over, he was in town for a couple of days of de-briefing, and then he said he was off to Amsterdam and he was going to party, party, party:D

South Sudan is now a separate country; and yes it is having its troubles at the moment.

Just by the way, if you do go there - we found everybody very welcoming and helpful (typical arab/muslim hospitality to strangers); we walked the streets near our hotel in the evenings and felt completely safe.
Even the traffic wasn't too bad; way better than Cairo!

Did you happen to meet any trustworthy and highly competent travel agents? ;)

LOL

Come to think of it, the place we stayed at was called The German Guest House, and had a travel desk* there...
So you never know - google them and send them an email

* we considered hiring a car and driver for a day trip out to the Sudanese Pyramids, North of the city. But in the end Mrs pandaperth wasn't comfortable with that

See the post above

The people who ran things in the hotel were, IMO and experience, completely trustworthy

We also had dealings with the RJ office "downtown" and they were highly competent and friendly. But I'm sure they wouldn't be selling you a ticket on AB stock:)

It might actually be worth looking into. ;)

Current cheapest premium tickets, A/DONE - A/DONEWC?
 
Hi All,

I am looking for the cheapest countries to start a DONE/AONE/AONEWC/DONEWC.

What are currently the cheapest countries to depart from?

This is discussed above. Basically, CAI, JNB, and TYO are good places to begin. You can also do KRT (see discussion over last two pages) but it might be a logistic challenge to get it arranged.

I just priced out an LONEX starting in MEL for USD$4635, 11 segments. I did this at rtw.oneworld.com. Then I happened to go to qantas.com and click through their rtw link to the same page, which re-opened my existing itinerary and priced it $1500 higher on the base fare: at this point, the price in my already opened tab updated also $1500 higher! I opened a different browser and re-priced it going directly to the tool, and got the original fare (I went through to the cc details page). What on earth is going on there, does this just get added on in some kind of lousy qantas 'fees'?

Unrelated question: I can save about $250 in tax/fees if I fly TAM from Sao Paulo/Rio to London instead of BA. Is there a noticeably different experience in Y? The TAM forums sound pretty negative.

Third question - I tried posting this two days ago and got a message saying "moderators need to approve your post" then it never showed up. How's that work?

For some reason your post went into the moderator queue (a mysterious thing) requiring moderator approval before it's visible. I must have missed it, but have allowed it now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

xONEx price in the currency of the country of origin, in this case AUD. You quote USD, are you sure you have not made a mistake with you currency?

Yes, sorry - I was trying ex-MEL and ex-ICN, so converted all the prices into USD for my comparisons. The price was presented in AUD - I think it went from about AUD$5100 to AUD$6600.

LONEx fares are seasonal. For 14/Jan/15 departure they are in AUD ex-Australia
LONE4 3,899
LONE5 4,499
LONE6 5,199

Tokyo is a cheaper departure point than Korea.

They used to be seasonal (and the fare basis code was different for high season). They haven't been for some times.

When you priced it out on rtw.oneworld.com which airline did you have for your first flight?
That airline would be your ticketing carrier and so it gets to choose which surcharges (for the other airlines in the itinerary) it collects off you and which it doesn't.

If Qantas is the first carrier, then it gets to choose - and it likes to collect lots of surcharges. I once did a mini-investigation of this - see this post http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/13347190-post20.html (warning: figures will no longer be valid)

When you priced it through Qantas.com did you change the first carrier to be Qantas (or was it already Qantas)? It might be that setting the ticket up through qantas.com results in QF doing the ticketing even if it is not the first carrier. Will be interesting to investigate this...

I have time on my hands, so...

First investigation
  • using the online tool (rtw.oneworld.com)
  • very simple LONE4 starting and ending in SYD (SYD-HKG-LHR-LAX-SYD)
  • QF or CX for SYD-HKG, CX or BA for HKG-LHR, BA or AA for LHR-LAX, QF for LAX-SYD (could not get the tool to show the AA codeshare for this last segment)
  • all, of course, had the same base fare (AUD3906, which is AUD7 more than the published fare, because of HKG's little nuisance tax which it requires be added to the base fare rather than be separately listed)
* so I looked only at the total of taxes and surcharges
  • these varied between AUD968.44 and AUD1349.54 depending on the mix of airlines used
  • cheapest was CX-CX-AA-QF; most expensive was QF-BA-AA-QF
I will add the second investigation shortly (it will navigate through the qantas.com web site to the tool in order to see if there is any difference)

Edited to add:
Second investigation
  • Starting at Qantas.com.au and clicking on its Round the World link, which takes me to the online tool at rtw.oneworld.com but with Qantas branding instead of Oneworld branding (the url is https://rtw.oneworld.com/rtw/?origin=QF)
  • Enter the same itinerary as before (specifying CX as the first carrier)
  • Get the same pricing as before
  • Click on Proceed to Booking
  • AND THE PRICE INCREASES
  • looking at the list of taxes and charges, there is an additional line of "Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees" totalling AUD 297.70

Mmmm

Oh - When did they change? I remember in 2000 I bought a LONEx which was seasonal. But I guess 2000 was a long time ago ;)

I have a copy of the April-2008 rule sheet. Economy fares ex-Australia and ex-UK/Ireland had seasonal fares
The next copy I have is March-2012, and all seasonal fares had gone by then

Narrows it down a bit;)
