Involuntary Re-routes Questions
With all the cancellations happening worldwide many of my ticketed non-stops are becoming connections. For instance my ARN - ORD flight was changed to ARN - LHR - ORD. AA simply took the 1 coupon and issued a new ticket with the 2 coupons. The remaining part of the RTW was left untouched. Under the 1-World rules does the ARN - LHR segment now count as a European segment if I wanted to do a re-issue? Since the full ticket was not re-issued I realize there are many ways to prevent the issuing carrier from discovering this re-route, but I just wondered if there is a rule detailing what is supposed to be done.
Basically the same question, but what if the change occurs down line. For instance I hold a PER - AKL ticket. QF no longer has a single flight number flight on that route. If I went to re-issue the segment that gets me to Australia will I now be required to use 2 segments to get from PER - AKL?
thanks,
