that is great news.
in the past (2 years ago) it was stated that rebook on first date is 'reissued"
now that the wording has changed, and it seems (as confirmed by case with BA) it is just a sticker. i thk we will all issue a "open" ticket NOV/2002

now back to the question of validity, just to confirm. if my tkt start date is 11/2002, but i changed it to 6/2002, i might be able to steal 5 months of validity if the agent is lazy? it in reverse, i might lose 5 months instead? is this what it is?
(and i assume that is why they insisted on re-issue at the beginning?)

by the way, to answer an earlier question. i peeked over some travel industry guides on a train.
TC=travel conference
TC1/2/3 are as i said earlier, the 3 bulks of land masses roughly divided by time zones.
TC2 also includes middle east (as OWE has divided teh continents)
