My problem is, I really can't fly at the date of my last and 16th segment. I booked it for the last possible date with the plan to change the date. But now the carrier AB does not offer flights anymore on this route in the time I wanted to fly. There is an indiect option, but this would increase the number of segments to 17 - so it's not possible?
Another question I have is: If I change the routing from AAA-BBB-CCC to AAA-DDD-EEE, does it count as one transaction or as two (so 125 USD change fee or 250 USD change fee?
And is a change fee per person or per booking-number (we are two people on one booking)?
So many questions. Tried to get answers from AA, but they weren't very helpful. Hope you are. Thanks!
I think it would help if you told us the details of the flight
IF the airline flying a segment has discontinued flying it and if there is no other OW airline that flies it THEN you will 'be protected' and if that means you end up flying more than 16 segments that is OK (my LONE4 in 08/09 ended up at 17 segments because of the same issue). I suggest you contact either the carrier that issued your ticket, or the carrier of the problem segment to discuss it.
Changing AAA-BBB-CCC to AAA-DDD-EEE is one transaction, so you pay one USD125 fee. I believe that each passenger pays the fee.
As for the refund - in theory you get a refund, but only after they compute the cost of the series of 1-way flights you took, in booking class L for economy. You have 16 segments, so the recomputed fare will almost certainly come to more (probably far more) that you paid for the LONEx and therefore you will not get a refund
