Seems it's a way that the airlines can effectively shut down ex-CAI DONEx's without explicitly pulling the fare like BA did. A bit frustrating when before all you had to do was find the first segment out of CAI on your preferred airline then the rest of the ticket was more or less fair game. I really hope we don't see that trend on ex-TYO as well since TYO is actually a typical origination point for regularly priced business fares too. CAI and to a lesser extent OSL not so much despite OSL being the point of origin for several 'sale' fares in past years.
As the proud possessor of an ex-TYO which will need fiddling with as some of what we wanted is too far out to book yet, I do hope this doesn't get extended to TYO.
