What's the record for status credit earn for OW explorer?

What's the record for status credit earn for OW explorer (4 continent)?

I'm thinking of doing a DONE4 or AONE4.

Do people still ticket through other airlines than QF to save $$$?

Also, where can I find out the prices for OW explorer and Circle Pacific tickets? They used to be displayed for all the countries on the OW website. eg a Business Class Circle Pacific 26k mile ticketed in Jakarta used to be $5000 USD.

Thanks

Chucksta.

oneworld stopped displaying the country of origin prices earlier this year due, supposedly, to "Inclusive Procicing" regulation in some of the countries.

A subscription to E/F or KVS will return the information you are after.

Today I was quoted approx AUD11k for a DCIR29SA ex Syd. For the last leg LAX-SYD am I better to book QF12 or the AA codeshare on that flight? I'm AA Platinum. I think the taxes are cheaper on the AA code? Does it affect anything else? Do the chances of an op-up change depending on whether you are on the codeshare booking?

Serfty: Is Expert Flyer or KVS better?Do you know if you can check QFF U class seat availability on either? (biz upgrade/award seats)

Don't know about KVS but you can certainly search for U on EF

Searches can also be done for free - check the tip in post one of the "loadings/Availability" sticky thread.

So which is better to pay $$$ for? E/F or KVS?
