New Round the World Price Indicating Tool

[sr81]

Mods, not sure if this goes here but it will do to start.

Found this today:
RTW Fares Comparison

The creator has put in all the fares he can find for RTW plus Circle Asia and presents it on a Google map that gives departure location prices.

The only issue is that it lacks a basic fare description for what it returns. Also, the cheapest price it notes may not be for RTW but only a Circle Asia. Eg. What is a DAS13?

The tool is worth a play as it does help get a feel for where the cheap places are.

You can click on a fare type from the list at the bottom:

RTW Fares Comparison for LONE4

It also provides a list of origins and base fares in order of price.

DONE4 ex Oz is 2nd most expensive.

The author (sbm12) is well known on FT and has provided some quite nice tools for the Frequent Flyer.

Here's the FT thread on this tool - it was only released yesterday:

Comparing Round-the-World (RTW) fares and options - FlyerTalk Forums

The AONE fares from Seychelles look really good, but is that even possible to book?

 

[sr81]

SEZ was about the first thing I looked at. The price seems to be a hangover from the days when BA flew there hence the very low price.

At the moment no Oneworld operator flies to SEZ.

Reports on Flyertalk are the the party ex-KRT (Sudan) is over with prices going through the roof in the last 15 hours. Prior to this it was significantly cheaper to get a DONE4 ex-KRT than a LONE4 ex-Australia.

Indeed FT reports most of the Mid-East has gone up substantially, albeit maybe just AONEs.

Reported that Gala Travel (a Canadian agent) had ticketed over 100 ex-KRT AONEs in the last few months (using the Canadian exception)

Not disputing this at all, but Expert Flyer is showing 2694.00(AUD) as the DONE4 price ex-KRT right now (I think this is roughly what is was a few weeks ago?). Maybe EF has not caught up to reality or something like that. I was aware of how cheap KRT was for xONEx, but TBH probably a little too much much effort/risk for my liking.

More bad news.

Following a thread in the oneworld forum on Flyertalk that suggested there'd been a recent increase to the xONEx product, I phoned Qantas.

And it's confirmed.

There was an apparently market-wide increase on 1 June.

Whereas previously a DONE4, for example, ex-JNB was ZAR48000, it has gone up more than 20% to ZAR58900 (~AUD1150).

I'm bummed.

Yet qantas website is advertising 10% discount on OW products.

I believe to get the 10% discount it needs to be ticketed by Qantas(081-) , so the fuel fines would negate any advantage over booking though A or LA.

Seems the website is down, but I'm interested in:

cheapest DONE4/AONE4 pricing
Circle Pacific and Circle Asia fares in J/F

Anyone remember what it was showing?

 

[Kangol]

Looks like the entire list is down and not going to come back.
Does anyone have another resource for these RTW/Circle Pacific etc base fares?

In another thread someone posted a link to a PDF hosted on Home - AirTickets - looks like that site is private and unavailable to the public for publishing base fares like the WANDR site used to....

What do you mean private/unavailable to public ?
Seems to work ok for me

[moa999]

In any event its a March 2012 document so expect the fares are very dated.

I'm referring to all RTW-type fares, not just Circle Pacific.. ie xONEx in all classes and from various regions.
The site in post 1 was a great one - had almost everything.

As moa999 said, it's likely to have changed in the ~18 months since it was released.

I agree on both counts. The site in post one was a beauty and that flight prices are likely to have changed.
Have a look at FT there isn't an official list but there is some discussion about it.

I think the last I checked (a few months back) ex-JNB was still the best value for A/D-one-X.

I think it depends a bit on how many continents are included. Some parts of Egypt are very good value at the moment.

Always depends on how many continents I think - that's why you have D/A-one-4/5/6

But what did you mean by 'some parts of Egypt' ?
I didn't realise the prices changed within a country ?
Are PER prices different to MEL for example ?
Or just an Egyptian phenomena ?

Cheers

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.

What I meant was a DONE3, for example, might be cheapest in country A but a DONE4 might be more expensive in A and cheaper in country B.

I also think I've given you the wrong information on different prices within a country. The different prices I'm seeing for an itinerary I have on hold (pending QR's arrival) only varies within a country because of the carrier on the first sector. So, no, my information was wrong: as far as I'm aware base prices within a country are the same regardless of which city you start in.

 

[Kangol]

Does anyone have the current base prices for ex-HKG fares:
Circle pacific (all levels of distance) in J/F (D/A class)
Oneworld RTW 4 continent also in J/F (D/A class)?

Thanks!
