We all know 2 additional segments may be purchased on OWE tickets (except in continent of origin).
1. Can these segments be purchased after travel has commenced?
YES.
2. If so, is there a change fee (for routing change and ticket reissue) in addition to the segment cost?
YES.
3. Can the segments be inserted into an existing intinerary after travel has begun or must they be the "last" segments as suggested by an earlier post?
They can added to any continent.
4. Any chance purchased segments could be for an addtional transcon in the US or Australia or a second R/T to the Middle East? (I think I know the answer to this.)
NO.
I guess what I'm asking is, if after arriving in a continent, I want to make an additional side trip or add a destination and find local fares too expensive, can I fall back on the OWE add-on fares.
I would appreciate hearing if any of our RTW group often use these additional segments or find them cost effective. I realize this will depend to some extent on whether you are buying Economy, Business or First.</font>
