I've remembered another change I would like to see
Minor ChangeRight at the top of the Rule Sheet it says:
0. APPLICATION AND OTHER CONDITIONS
First / Business / Economy RTW / Open Jaw travel via AA/AB/AY/BA/CX/HG/IB/JJ/JL/KA/LA/MH/NU/QF/QR/RJ/S7/UL/XL/4M operated services worldwide.
Then Clause 4(c) says:
(c) Travel may originate at any point for which fares are published and must terminate at the same point, except that origin-destination surface segments are permitted as follows
(a) within the country of origin
(b) within the Middle East
(c) between the United States and Canada
(d) between HKG and China
(e) between Malaysia and SIN
(f) within Africa
(g) between Maldives & Sri Lanka/India
Now to my mind - if you do not return to your point of origin, then you have an open jaw between your origin and your destination, not a surface segment.
So why is 4(e) worded the way it is? Surely it would be more accurate/appropriate to have the wording:
(c) Travel may originate at any point for which fares are published and must terminate at the same point, except that an origin-destination open jaw is permitted as follows
(a) within the country of origin
(b) within the Middle East
(c) between the United States and Canada
(d) between HKG and China
(e) between Malaysia and SIN
(f) within Africa
(g) between Maldives & Sri Lanka/India
I have never heard of an airline saying "Mmm, you have 16 flight segments and then a surface segment between your origin and your destination, that makes 17 segments in all which is one too many". But ya neva no!
