Various types of RTW tickets.

D stands for Business class. Tickets are booked in the "D" fare bucket.
ONE standards for the OneWorld Exporer
The number afterwards stands for the number of continents allowed.
DCIR22 is a Business class Circle Pacific ticket with a max of 22000 nmiles (Fly to america only in a circular fashion).

This link to Flyertalk might help with a better description of what they all are...

Sure,

These are all discounted Business Class ('D') fares with Oneworld airlines.

The DONEx are around the world fares, covering x number of continents. A DONE3 is a three continent ticket (eg Asia, Europe, North America). As we have to transit through Asia, tickets from Australia are a minimum of DONE4.

The DCIR fare is a 'Circle Pacific' fare, with the number denoting the maximum mileage available under the fare (ie, a DCIRC22 has a maximum mileage for all flights of 22,000 miles).

Thanks Craigo

I started to think discount business class may have been part of it.. I don't think I'll ever be able to justify paying business class fares for personal travel.. At least until I win lotto!

Wouldn't it be tidier to only include airline travel specific abbreviations rather than adding all generally used txt and internet abbreviations
