customer unfriendly changes in the Round-The-World program
Just a heads up for y'all... they've made some "enhancements" to the RTW program in the last week or two.
1) Any schedule changes now incur a $150-per-change penalty. Previously it was $150 for changing the routing.
2) Airlines can cancel any, if not all, segments booked if the RTW record is not ticketed after 7 days. Previously, you could book & hold, then obtain your ticket up to a week before the first flight.
Both changes are bad. The second one for me, as I'm planning out my honeymoon trip starting & ending in Thailand (to take advantage of buying the ticket in Thai baht). I was planning on a MR over to Thailand next month or August, not next week!
