Not sure about any immunity with Qantas, but they are one of the partners.

Yup, these are the four partners AA has ATI/JBV with. If joint operations are metal neutral it makes sense for AA to allow challenges on those partners.

My memory is obviously failing but I thought that Sudan was included in Africa not Europe in the xONEx continent classification.
I was also certain that Libya was also included in Africa but it is now in Europe - tell me that I am or am not losing my mind.

But does this represent an unheralded change? Sudan it seems not but Libya?

Is LONE6 starting in Cyprus unbookable?
 
According to. http://www.wandr.me/RTW_Fares.aspx/ByProduct/LONE6
Fare from Cyprus is only $2513.
However when I try and book it online, I can only book alight to amman and then it seems impossible to book flights to say, London or USA.it doesn't find any availability from LCA to LHR although I can see flights on ba.com. The error says can only cross atlantic once. Am I doing something wrong?

Seychelles seems even cheaper - is that not bookable either?
Thanks
Jo

Don't know about Cyprus, but there haven't been any OW flights to SEZ in years. Probably why they didn't bother recalculating and updating the xONEx pricing there.

There shouldn't be any issues from Cyprus other then availability. There are oneworld flights from PFO to NUE and LGW and from LCA to AMM, LHR and NUE.

Seychelles isn't on the oneworld map. Nearest is Mauritius.

LONE6
 
Thanks for the tip Himeno - its very limited availability.

I finally managed to get a valid route starting in LCA that includes all 6 continents. However, the cost of 3,608 Euros (before taxes) is still coming in well over the $2513 price stated on http://www.wandr.me/RTW_Fares.aspx/ByProduct/LONE6 for a trip starting in Cyprus:

Here is the trip - grateful for any pointers on why the price is so much more - is the Cyprus price just wrong or has anyone managed to book at this price?

The price for an LONE6 from Cyprus is 3604 EUR + tax. That site is out of date. Your price is coming up at 3608 + tax because of a HKG tax that adds to the base fare.

Ah that would explain it! Thanks. Is the Khartoum one at $3032 the correct price? I am basically looking at the cheapest option within inexpensive reach of London.
