Fellow Flyertalkers,
After taking a couple of DONE4s in 2003 (ex-CAI) and 2005 (ex-IST, indeed I think I was the first to do this routing after playing FT fare roulette) I fell into routine business travel and haven't had the chance to play the RTW game. Now my parents have taken retirement and are keen to do lots of travelling whilst they're still fit and able - and, being in their early 60s, it's a great time to do it.
I've been explaining the process to them but can't find a simple map that shows the OWE zones. Yes, there are the lists on the website and the vague maps showing routings, but nothing as good as I remember from the BA fare rules. So I've pulled out this map from my files - it's from 2005 - and want to know if anyone can point me to something better? If not, I'll append this to the sticky. I recognise that the Maghreb (North Africa) now falls into Europe but can't spot any other discrepancies.
Also, am I right in thinking that a D class ticket on AA two class (Y,F) flights now gets shunted down into L class rather than upgraded to A class?
Thanks for your help - I'm looking forward to kicking the old 'uns out of the house for a few months and sending them on a wonderful trip!
