xONEx Fare Hike?
Just spoke to the AA RTW desk, finalizing an AONE4 departing August 24th from CPT. The agent told me that they're half expecting a OWE rate hike to be effective tomorrow morning simultaneously with the Circle Pacific hike which has already been announced.
Anyone hear anything else? Unfortunately, I doubt that I can get this fared by DUB and then ticketed by Mindpearl before tomorrow. Ugh. |
Nothing on cxagents as of 00:05 HKT August 1st.

The folks on the RTW desk have been expecting a hike since early July. Everyone I talked to basically told me to ticket asap. I thought it was going to happen on the 15th so I booked and ticketed before then.
Now, I did ask if I made the reservation and got the pricing from them, whether the pricing would hold even if OW changed RTW pricing and I had not ticketed. They said that pricing would hold for 5 days from when I made the reservation (didnt get in writing but I've never had an issue with AA RTW before). |

Can you use a travel agent in these various countries to ticket?

Update
Just spoke to the AA RTW desk again. They are, indeed, expecting an xONEx increase effective at midnight, but no one has anything definite yet, and she emphasized that she is merely repeating the talk around her office. My AAgent also told me that as long as I get the rezzy completed and fare requested before midnight, it will be priced at the old (i.e., current, pre-August 1 increase) fare in the event of an increase. She said that they honor the fare in effect at the time that the rezzy is completed and faring is requested.

10% to 16% increase on many xONExs
Just a quick scan - looks like 15 - 16% ex-N America, 10 - 15% ex-Europe, many Asian origins relatively unchanged in D and A. MRU is no longer a great origin; S Africa up but still under US$6K for DONE4.
More analysis later. |

So guess the AA RTW folks were right about this one. The above rates dont sound so bad relative to the Circle Pacific hikes last month. But guess we need to see the details.

Thanks for the details, Gardy. AONE3 only up $200? That's not so bad, but AONE4 from South Africa now over $9K? Just got mine under the wire last night at the old price, but this is going to hurt.
