In addition the inclusion of AA premium economy booking class, which
Himeno spotted, I have spotted the following (IMHO significant) change:
Rule 4(e), which concerns allowed second visits to continents, has been rewritten
Previous Version:
New Version:
(e) Only one intercontinental departure and one intercontinental arrival permitted in each continent except as follows:
- Two permitted in North America.
- Two permitted in Asia when one is for travel between the Southwest Pacific and Europe/Middle East.
- Two permitted in Europe/Middle East.
If travel is to/from Europe in both directions, itinerary may not include Mauritius/South Africa.
- The wording is simpler, especially for dot point #3
- The words "when one is a transfer without stopover" have been removed. Therefore stopovers are now allowed on both visits to the continent
- The second dot point now states that one of the two visits must be for travel SWP-Europe/Middle East. Previously that restriction was not there (I personally have had a second visit which was a transfer without stopover between Nth America and SWP). So this previously valid itinerary would now be invalid ...Africa-Asia-SWP-Asia-Nth America...
