Oneworld Business Class Oneworld Explorer IONE3 Prices
* Price checked 5th January 2026
“This is Oneworld’s entry level Business Class Round The World ticket with a low 26,000 mile limit and an equally low 5 stopovers, limited to two in any region. The ticket books into the restrictive “I” Class and is only available for departures from limited countries in Asia, South America, and the South West Pacific.
It usually prices at around 80-85% of the cost of the DGLOB34 ticket which is a useful saving if you want limited stopovers and can stay inside the 26,000 mile limit.
Even then – it may be possible to undercut this fare with a Build Your Own itinerary.”
