The first: if, due to a seat being unavailable, I'm booked into Economy on a DONE rtw, but later on a D or W seat becomes available or I change my date, is switching possible with ease? Would that be a free "date/time/oneworld carrier/inventory" change? Or would that change cost the US125?

Secondly: With E-tickets, open-dated segments aren't possible anymore, is that correct? So for example if I choose to include a "Surface Segment" and a Oneworld airline runs that route, is changing that "Surface Segment" to a flight later when it's available considered a "Re-route" even though the ticketing points remain the same? I would argue that the route was running but seats weren't available at time of booking, but I'm not one to persuasively argue any point, so...

That specific flight is UIO-SCL. Instead of booking it as UIO-MIA-SCL, which would add another continent, I told the RTW operator to leave it unbooked - it's not present on the reservation page.

Thank you.
