You are right Gaza. The rules state that it is a minimum of 10 days. However, I have had tickets issued which are less than that. Not sure how they enforce the rule.</font>
to get around teh 10 day rule all you need to do is
1. use CX stock
2. first segment on CX
CX agent will then have to do a trick.
e.g. if u have a 7 day trip.
they will issue you a ticket of day -3 (i.e. 3 days before you first segment), remove the first coupon, and then staple a note on where the first coupon is supposed to be.
when the check-in agent sees the note, she will issue you the first segemnt boarding pass but understand that the coupon has already been collected.
therefore, technically the ticket is still 10 days. but in reality they allowed you to board a flight 3 days after your theoretical first flight.
hope this explains it
(i have done this a few times)
