Overhaul of the xONEx pricing, help please
Hi,
Does anyone have the up to date star files so that I can update the sticky? I will include base price in local currency as well this time and possibly conversion rates so you can all watch the US dollar bounce around with the oil price.
Were there any 1W countries that I missed last time as starting points?
South America and North America are fairly easy blankets but did I cover Africa, Asia, SWP and Europe well enough?
Can anyone remember the link to break into the QF files via the web and their agent pages? Are their similar links for AA, CX etc.
I have some time later in the week so please assist asap.
Happy landings and may the tier points be with you.

While looking for something else, I found the AA UK OWE travel agent pages, which I haven't seen referenced here before. Apologies if this is old news. No pricing, but it does include all the rules. They seem to be wrong in a couple of places, inevitably, but also include a lot of examples of correct and incorrect itineraries and might be something to add to the FAQ at the top of the page. Here's the link.

Here's one thing that surprised me (ie, I think they are wrong):
is claimed to be allowed, despite the AF code, since it's operated by BA. Or are oneworld-operated, non-OW coded flights allowed?

For what it's worth, there are actually many typos in it.
