How much (%) is 14 Apr fare increase
My travel agent has FINIALLY notified me that fares (for my Circle Pacific ex SYD) ticket will rise next week. I have seen other threads quoting 4 or 5%. Can anyone please advise which it is (4 or 5%). I just want to check that the agent passes on the full amount (or hopefully less) rather than pad it out over the full amount to try to cover the discount they gave me on the initial agreement.

Up to 15% for some Oneworld fares, most are 10% increase but the increase is different for each one. Also significant changes in conditions, making it *very* attractive to buy your ticket prior to April 14, otherwise you get the new restrictive conditions (that can be a bigger impact than the fare increase, depending on your circumstances).

Number_6 - my agent said no change to the rules (but I don't necessarily believe her).
Wongo - given other comments in the OW forum, I think its worldwide.
The agent inferred that it is a good thing that the prices have risen - it means they have business (at least until Monday 14 April), otherwise they would have an empty shop.
(YIPEEEE -- at last - I have been edited by the FT censors! the ******* stands for bastar*)
