The baggage fees for the Seattle – Boise, Boise – Seattle -Dallas-Fort Worth and Dallas-Fort Worth – New York La Guardia sectors cannot be included in the ticket price and must be paid online during online check-in or at the airport at airport check-in.

“In this instance booking Oneworld flights individually is not remotely competitive against the LONE5 fare. However, even on an itinerary of this complexity a Build Your Own itinerary would still save GBP 422.85 against the LONE5 fare, although this involves starting from London Gatwick, taking six extra flights and flying an additional 2,895 miles.

It is worth considering that the base fare of a LONE5 ticket from Norway is around GBP810 cheapear than from the UK. Getting a positioning flight to Norway and commencing from there may be the best option of all as it will confer all the benefits of direct flights and a changeable ticket at around the same cost overall as the Build Your Own itinerary from London.

It should be pointed out that most of the tickets quoted to make up the individually priced Oneworld and the Build Your Own itinerary are non-changeable and non-refundable and you may not wish to commit to dates before departing on your trip. If you book these tickets as you go along there is no guarantee that prices will remain stable.”
