So, it would seem that for flights after this change, booking a partner code may result in earning more miles, while booking an AA code results in more EQM.
How would they do this, as if I remember correctly, an RTW fare is not broken down by segment?
Furthermore, if you book (and/or start) an RTW before the changes, but continue flying after the changes, will the whole trip come under the old rules, or will it somehow switch part way through?
A lot of unanswered questions re xONEx products.
Perhaps somebody could call the very helpful, and usually knowledgeable, folks at the AA RTW office to see if they have been issued any guidelines yet?
(I am in Sri Lanka at the moment with limited phone service and wrong timing for the opening hours of RTW office.)
