New Routing Rules - 01AUG16

I found an update effective today, I originally posted it in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...periences.html because there was an ongoing discussion there, but it really should be posted here:

The QF filed fare rule is already updated. 4(h) line about *segments between Europe and Middle East are not permitted if... - no longer exists!

Code:

H.A MINIMUM OF 3 AND MAXIMUM OF 16 SEGMENTS                           
  INCLUDING SURFACE SEGMENTS BETWEEN ANY 2                            
  AIRPORTS ARE PERMITTED FOR THE ENTIRE                               
  JOURNEY.                                                            
  FREE FLIGHT SEGMENTS WITHIN EACH CONTINENT ARE                      
  LIMITED AS FOLLOWS -                                                
  AFRICA              4                                               
  ASIA                4                                               
  EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST  4 - NOT MORE THAN 2 OF WHICH                    
  MAY BE BETWEEN THE UK AND ALBANIA/ALGERIA/

  URALS/TUNISIA/TURKEY/UKRAINE.                                       
  NORTH AMERICA       6

  SOUTHWEST PACIFIC   4

4(e)3 (Intercontinental departure/arrivals) has been rewritten/clarified too. It now reads:

Code:

3. TWO PERMITTED IN EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST,              
A. FOR TRAVEL ORIGINATING IN AFRICA,                
//AFRICA-EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST-RTW-EUROPE/MIDDLE,      
  EAST-AFRICA//,                                    
- ONE OF THE VISITS TO EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST MUST,     
BE A TRANSFER WITHOUT STOPOVER BETWEEN AFRICA,      
AND THE PREVIOUS/NEXT CONTINENT,                    
- IF TRAVEL TO/FROM EUROPE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS,      
 THE ITINERARY MAY NOT INCLUDE MAURITIUS/SOUTH,     
 AFRICA.,                                            

B. FOR TRAVEL ORIGINATING OTHER THAN AFRICA,        
//EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST-AFRICA-EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST//,   
- ONE OF THE VISITS TO EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST MUST,     
 BE A TRANSFER WITHOUT STOPOVER BETWEEN AFRICA,     
 AND THE PREVIOUS/NEXT CONTINENT,                   
- IF TRAVEL TO/FROM EUROPE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS,      
 THE ITINERARY MAY NOT INCLUDE MAURITIUS/SOUTH,     
 AFRICA.,

Each member airline files their *ONEx fares - copies of each other of course - but it takes time for all of them to go in. QF is usually first and their rules are already filed. oneworld.com not updated yet. Haven't looked for any other changes.

Discuss!
