Awesome, thanks. Timely: I think I only just passed the post count required to edit a wiki post
I've made the updates noted below. One question: is there an FAQ somewhere on how to manage a wiki post? It would obviously say things like "you need to have made X posts before being able to edit a wiki" but IMHO it would also be useful to have some loose conventions on things like "if you make meaningful changes to the wiki then mention that in the thread" plus it would be useful to know what happens if someone edits the wiki to remove something important if only so people know to be REALLY careful if it's not readily recoverable.
Updates made:
+ "Can I buy more segments" now reads "This is no longer permitted"
+ airline list updated and added dragonair as an affiliate
+ change fee updated from US$75 to US$125
+ Various wording tidy up without major changes
+ "Further Information" links updated
+ dropped "If you want to try to save some money by starting your *ONE* somewhere other than your home to take advantage of local pricing and currency rate differences, check the link to current pricing."
Potential further updates:
+ The question of how to save money by choosing where to start a *ONE* and/or what itinerary to pick feels like it's a discussion and thus is (or should be) another thread (possibly with it's own wiki) which should just be linked to rather than summary duplicated in this wiki. Certainly there are more useful things to say about saving fuel surcharges for example (I have a detailed post/analysis in draft)
+ Similarly, I'm sure there's a thread somewhere which aims to keep an answer to this question up to date:
Q: If I pony up the money for an A ticket, which routes still have "real" first class?
+ I left "Q: Have there been any problems with handwritten tickets?" in because I'm not sure if there are some bizarre circumstances in which you might somehow still get a hand written ticket. I think it's now impossible but am not 100% sure.
+ Pretty sure some affiliates listed are old and should be removed
+ If someone was nice they might improve the formatting further: I think I caught all the headings and made them bold but the Q & A letters being bold probably helps reading too.
