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).

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.

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!!!

When the sale ended I jotted down a few prices as published on 04 Nov on OW website. I have just checked these against the latest prices as published 2 days later.
