RTW rule myths

I lifted the rule sheet from the Oneworld website and I must say that Rule 16 would appear to support my contention. I certainly cannot find the rule you showed, although I am now aware that it exists. Additionally, I can find little in Explorer rules that rebut my view.

I also agree with you on value and in this case the ticket is paid for by my employer. Nevertheless I do feel that there is an argument of principle involved
Jaypee:

There is NO rule about changing the DATE of departure as long as it is within one year of ticket issuance, however, one can not change the destination of the first segment.
Where CX is coming up with this mystical rule is troubling. I have changed my departure dates twice on AONE 4's issued by AA.
CX seems to be applying some rule that does not apply to One world tickets. Now EK has a rule you cannot change first departure date.

In my experience agents seem to get rules from one RTW fare and apply it to all RTW fares.

If anyone finds the rule that proves us wrong please post it.
