Hi all,

29000 mile fare will be increasing by $1000
Business class will be increasing by $3000
First class will be increasing by $4500

Ouch! Those are some significant increases, which I assume will be blamed on the tardy performance of the Pacific Peso over the last 6 months.

I dont remember them coming down by $3000 when the A$ was higher earlier in the year...

And don't expect them to come down again later if the A$ picks up (yeah, right, as if that is going to happen).

I will echo that Ouch ! thats a huge increase. I wonder if we see a OW increase also ? i hope not but you know the way these things work.

It's probably more that they've seen what OW gets away with and want part of the increased $ action.

Does anyone know if oneworld are planning increases for the DONEs, LONEs etc?

Also, how much notice would QF/oneworld normally give?

[serfty]

There have been reports on FT of impending oneworld product price increases very soon.

(Driven, in part, I think by the recent significant devaluation of the GBP against the USD)

No notice is required ...

OW changes seem to occur on the 1st (although have been a few on the 15th) from my memory.
