I have tried to follow the links and use the tools on here. Do I understand that a One World, Round the World Trip in Frist (A) class, 4 continents, purchased and begun in the US, would cost around $9,500?

Does the beginning/ending continent (North America) count in determining if the ticket is AONE3 or AONE4 ?

That the same trip purchased in some place like Egypt would cost around $6,500.?

If the ticket is purchased in Egypt does travel have to begin there? Is there a safe way to purchase a ticket in Egypt from the US?

If I purchased a DONE4 what would it cost to upgrade using miles, eVIP's, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

I remember the first time I found out about these tickets, so I'll be patient... In answer to your question above: correct.



Try this thread to understand more about how these fares are constructed:

Correct and yes travel must commence from Egypt. OW airlines serving CAI are BA and IB. If Egypt is too much of an adventure for you, try Istanbul, where the prices for this type of ticket are also quite good.

I'm assuming you're asking about buying a DONEx (a business class ticket) and upgrading to First. As far as I know, you'll only be able to do this on any segments operated by AA offering a First cabin (D class in North America = First Class on 2-class flights).

I appreciate you're looking for answers but this thread is principally for updates on xONEx pricing - feel free to post the rest of your queries in the main part of the OW forum.

I've split this away from the pricing thread so that the pricing thread can remain just that, and so that we can give bbkenney help on his questions. virtualroy has already done a great job on that.

You only count your starting/ending continent once.
