Presumably that would apply to Oneworld Explorer tickets just as it would to "ordinary" tickets.
But it raised a question in my mind, one that I probably should know, but don't remember. When one reissues an xONEx ticket - say for a routing change - does the "new" ticket have the same ticket number as the old one? I know the PNR stays the same, but what about the ticket numbers?
Obviously looking for a loophole here, and would appreciate anybody who knows the answer answering.
Did we get anywhere with understanding if/how this applies to an xONEx? Key questions:
Does the cap apply to xONEx tickets? If so:
Does it matter if it's re-ticketed? (e.g. routing change)
Does pre 1st August earning count towards the cap?
Is there a difference between theory and practice (e.g.: yes there's a cap but they likely won't apply it in XYZ circumstances).
Any clues on if even AA knows the answers to these?
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, was the only place I could find discussion of it -- albeit from some time ago.
