OWE fare increases from 15 May???
A TA in MRU gave me MUR179230 (around USD5800) plus taxes (unstated) for a D-class rtw. Of course, it's not even clear that it's an OWE - I only gave them a four-segment trip, so it could have been point to point. I specifically asked for OneWorld Explorer, but I also specifically asked for first class, and they didn't do that right...
But there could have been a general increase on 15 May, I suppose. Any insights from the members with access to such data?

Both reasons seem ill-advised at this point. The TA, in particular, despite being associated with a major trading conglomerate there (or perhaps because of it) is very, very slow to respond, and their worker bees don't pay much attention to detail, thus booking a strangely priced D-class trip when the phrase "AONE4" is clearly stated in my instructions to them.
