So I expect the following words to be removed from Rule 0 (zero):
* 3 Continent Fare is only offered for travel originating in Asia, Europe/Middle East and North America
(and I further expect 3-continent fares to be published for countries in the southern hemisphere continents).
...
Well it seems my hopes have been dashed. It is now Sept 6th and no sign of a new version of the fare rules.
No sign of xONE3 fares in EF either (though I only checked business class ex-SYD)
Also, I have plugged into the on-line tool a very simple 3-continent all southern hemisphere itinerary (SYD-SCL-GRU-JNB-SYD). The tool says it is a valid itinerary, but it prices it as four-continents.
If there is a lurker - what's going on??
