Hmmm ... there's something going on here. The published prices on the Oneworld website seem too good to be true. An ANONE4, ex-Aus, has dropped ~$2500!!!

I have a couple of AONE4's and a couple of DONE4's currently held, but not ticketed, so if this is true, and not a website error, then this is brilliant!!

I've just quickly knocked up a RTW itinerary via the Qantas website, and an AONE4 base fare is coming up as $17,097, which is the "old" price.

Either that or those taxes etc. really, really suck.

Something very odd is going on it seems... my ticketed but not paid ACIR22 dropped from $12,099 to $9,149 as listed on the OneWorld website.

Perhaps OneWorld is having another sale - the AONE4 prices ex-AUS were around $14,500 during the 10% OneWorld 10th Anniversary sale on a couple of occasions last year - I booked a couple myself.

FT reports changes to UK xONEs and US CIRCs.
Some suggestion that an old fare list may have been uploaded.

Wait, see and hope!

The Circle Asia fare (>13k)has also dropped by nearly $1,000.

I am really annoyed by this, last year I missed out on the 10% sale by less than a week and this year the price drops less than three weeks after I purchase my ticket. :evil:

Same here - so don't know where that $14000 fare came from.

Just called QF to pay for my ACIR22 - after a fair bit of time on hold I was told that the official line was 'it's a mistake', although they weren't happy with that answer themselves (as they verified what I was seeing on the OneWorld site) so they'll call me back tomorrow with the real answer.

Seems like it is a too-good-to-be-true situation, and prices will be back to their normal levels on the website in the near future.

Trouble is, James - the prices haven't changed at all on the website when some of us made dummy bookings - damn it!

Interesting. The pricing of a DONE4 ex-JNB has plummeted.

 

[Hawkeye]

Oh well, it does appear to have been a mistake after all, as suspected.

Prices on the Oneworld website have returned to the higher rates.

 

[Hvr]

Very selfishly I am glad it was a mistake and not a price drop. I would have hated to have missed out on such a fare just after I have purchased it at full price.
