Hi folks! A friend of mine is thinking about booking a Circle Atlantic and I have some questions for you. I hope you can help me out.

1) The fare rules/rule sheet cannot be downloaded from the OW site. Where can these be found online?

2) Does the fare book into L for economy like xONEx fares?

3) Are stopovers allowed in the continent of origin?

4) Is a surface sector allowed at the end of the itinerary? OW seems to sasy no, but I'm not sure (they only talk about intermediate surface sector, thus leading me to think that such sectors are not possible at the beginning and at the end of an itinerary).

5) Does the ECAA exception apply to Circle Atlantic fares as well? My friend would book in ZRH, but start from LHR. If this is possible: what's best to book the ticket? Do everything directly with AA in ZRH, book with the RTW desk and then contact ZRH for ticket issue or book and issue with AA in the UK (if they accept foreign credit cards by phone)?

Thanks in advance!
