The current RTW rules state destinations need to be stated at booking. Does this mean that xONEx tix are only flexible to date and time changes now? I've been using CIRPACs for a while and the last time I used an xONEx they were completely flexible (reroute, reissue) so long as the continent sequence and direction were unchanged. Cost $150 per reissue but that isn't a big deal. However if the routing is no longer flexible it means I need to wait much closer to last minute to book, or just use xONEx for intercontinental routing and book some of the local trips separately?
No, they're still flexible. Date/time/carrier changes are free (except for some complex rules regarding changing the first international flight, the applicability and implementation of which are much debated (don't get me started) including here at FT, and even the carriers apparently cannot agree), as they do not require ticket reissue. Itinerary changes require reissuance of the ticket, so the change fee applies.
