Check the OW useful reference link.

There is a WearyBizTrvlr's RTW comparison spreadsheet. I believe the last update was early may, just before the recent price increases.

Sale Over
 
New prices have been loaded on the OneWorld website as of Nov 4th.

I don't keep track of these but it looks like Sweden still good for ex Euro and South Africa still one of the best.
South Korea seems to have had another hike and is pricing up at 70 GBP less than the UK price for AONE4 (although this could be more as a result of the pound tanking lately).

With the weak dollar and the large fare increases the new fares are 33% more than I paid just 12 months ago for 4 Aone 4's.
AND Airlines wonder where the premium flyers have gone

So both 10% off periods this year have had a 'sting' in the tail when they finish
- Asia last time
- UK this time

Dr. HFH Nov 5, 2009 6:33 am
But remember, if you use these tix a few times/year, factor into the cost the miles you earn. For example, I travel to one of three or four destinations in Asia several times/year. Although list price of an AONE4 ex-CPT is now around USD$9,500, All Partner F Awards to south Asia on AA are only 137,500 miles round trip, so when I factor in the miles I earn plus COS and elite status bonuses, this brings the cost down to more like USD$6K.

Hmmm, this is getting pricey (*A too). Where is the best place to originate now? My next DONE3 is from ICN, purchased earlier this year before the first price hike. Not 100% sure where I'll look next.

Well, if you're going to SIN, don't forget FEZSQ. Very tight rules, but if it fits, it's only USD$6,699+ ex-US.

Looks like the two best ex Europe starting points have went up about 20-25%from the presale fares

DONE3 DONE4 DONE5 DONE6

ARN 54,500 62,900 72,600 85,000

WAW 22,200 25,900 29,200 33,600

Wow. I just bought a LONE4 on the last day of the sale from London for 1693.50 pounds and I looked today and the price has gone up to 2,334.80. Just saved 641.80 pounds. That is a massive price hike

Hey, Moomba, how are you? At first, I was pleased to find the same thing. Then I went to XE.com to convert the ZAR price into USD. Yikes, has there been a hit. AONE4 now approaching USD$10,000. I'm afraid that on the next RTW for which I actually have to pay (instead of using up more of my miles), I'll be moving to *A for the FEZSQ fare which I mentioned above, at around USD$7,000 ex-US. Although much more restrictive than the xONEx structure, it will work for me. My savings over OW will pay for the hotels!!!

For DONEx fares have a look at Israel and Jordan as well as S. Africa.

tfung Nov 9, 2009 4:21 pm
so did they introduce a fare increase at the same time that the 10% discount ended?
