I can in a way understand why Egypt and Turkey have increased hugely. My personal theory is there are 9 :-: carriers in Europe, who are all missing out on increased prorated revenue from RTW's because of the Euro based runners starting their trips in CAI or IST at a far less level than the rest of Europe. (I know CAI is not Europe, but it's close enough in distance to make it an easy option for the runners). They've just raised these two places to a par with the rest of immediate region to stop such practices. Any carrier worth it's salt, particularly in the current difficult operating environment, will act to stop any trickle or leakage of potential revenue turning into a flood.

The really bad news is Turkey, where prices have gone up by a huge amount, making ex-IST *A RTWs a thing of the past. This also means that with CAI gone, there are no more cheap starting points near Europe.
I've uploaded version 1.7.7 of the RTW fares spreadsheet with these changes.

Also thanks to another effort by thefareguru I have added updated fares for Israel, Lebanon, Malaysia, India and Denmark. I'll also update the table from my earlier post with the new data.
The latest version 1.7.10 is available for download.
