Now just got to pluck up the courage to call back and actually spend four and a half grand ....
I just called AA RTW and got all the ex-IST prices from them:
Code:
     3    4    5    6
AONE 6649 7649 8899 10199
DONE 4699 5299 5999  6899
Did you submit that itinerary for pricing before April 15? That price you were quoted including taxes (about 6280) is much lower than the current AONE3 fare before taxes.

I think it's around 1300 TPs. It can take as long or as little as one wants really. In reality, you couldn't do the whole itinerary in less than a fortnight. I believe the last flight can be no longer than 1 year after the first flight.

No, I called BA on Monday April 17th (definitely that day as it was Bank Holiday here in the UK).

Such things interest me (no life) so I ran a quick calc - below.
Code:
		 Mi 	 TP 	Notes
IST	LHR	 1,565 	40	
LHR	SFO	 5,367 	180	
SFO	ORD	 1,846 	60	
ORD	LAX	 1,745 	60	
LAX	LAS	 236 	20	Y svc only
LAS	LAX	 236 	20	Y svc only
LAX	YYZ	 2,175 	120	no F
YYZ	JFK	 366 	20	Y svc only
JFK	HKG	 8,072 	180	
HKG	SIN	 1,588 	60	
SIN	HKG	 1,588 	60	
HKG	NRT	 1,842 	60	
NRT	HKG	 1,842 	60	
HKG	LHR	 5,994 	180	
LHR	DXB	 3,420 	180	
DXB	LHR	 3,420 	180	
LHR	IST	 1,565 	40	
		Total	1520
If you switched to YYZ-LGA you can ride up front (J on Canada-US flights, not F) on two flights a day (others are Y only RJs.) LAX-LAS is all Y (Eagle) now. There are certainly ways to squeeze a lot more miles and TPs out of your N. America segments IMO.

Boy, I would sure send off that credit card no. right now to avoid them re-pricing.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is an AONE3? Not in the glossary.

Check out the first questions in this thread. Basically the "A" means First Class, the "ONE" means oneWorld explorer ticket, and the "3" means 3 continents. So, for example, you could have a DONE5 which would be a 5 continent oneWorld explorer in Business.
