I am currently planning a 4-continent oneworld Explorer trip ex-BKK...the agent told me that there is a 7-day advance purchase requirement, and the outbound flight ex-BKK is not changeable once the ticket is issued.

However, when I read the rules...I think for Area 3 (Asia/SWP?)...there is no advance purchase requirement, and that prior to departure, "unlimited changes permitted without charge".

Anyone knows which of this is correct ? I am thinking...maybe my agent confused oneworld Explorer with Global Explorer ? maybe that's the reason ? or is there a newer version of the rules for oneworld Explorer that is different from what I was reading ?

Thanks a lot !!
