I'm not quite sure whether this or the other thread on the RTW is the correct one I have now had a look at the ticket rules for DONE4 (here ex CAI, issued by QF - but also in general for possible future trips). Let's assume I only want to change the flight times after ticket was issued, but not the points visited and/or the route:

Code:

REBOOKING PRIOR TO DEPARTURE
          CHANGES ARE PERMITTED PROVIDED TICKETED POINTS
          REMAIN THE SAME. IF THE DATE IF THE FIRST FLIGHT
          COUPON IS BEING CHANGED AND THE FARE HAS
          INCREASED SINCE TICKET ISSUANCE THE DIFFERENCE
          BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW FARE BE CHARGED.
          IF THE FARE LEVEL HAS DECREASED SINCE TICKET
          ISSUANCE NO REFUND WILL APPLY

.

So I am flexible before departure, but the base fare will always be adjusted to the fare valid at that time (let's assume it will increase case sooner or later from CAI)?

Code:

AFTER DEPARTURE
          A. CHANGES TO TICKETED POINTS PERMITTED AT A
          CHARGE OF USD125.00 PER TRANSACTION.
          B. NO SHOW REQUIRES REBOOKING AT A CHARGE OF USD
          125.00.
          C. IF THE REROUTING RESULTS IN A CHANGE TO THE
          TOTAL TICKETED MILES THE TICKET SHALL BE
          RECALCULATED.
          TICKET MAY BE REISSUED TO ANY APPLICABLE EXPLORER
          FARE VALIDATING ALL RULES OF THE NEW FARE EXCEPT
          FOR RESTRICTIONS ON RETROACTIVE USE.
          REROUTING FEE APPLIES WHEN THE RESULTING FARE IS
          LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO THE ORIGINAL FARE.  NO
          REFUND APPLIES.  SEE UPGRADING PROVISIONS WHEN
          RECALCULATION RESULTS IN A NEW FARE BASIS AT A
          HIGHER VALUE.

Now I have already flown leg 1 (outbound CAI to my hometown and purposely placed it quite early in the summer of 2024, while I will not start the actual RTW - further on from my hometown - until 2025).
* The base fare will not be adjusted subsequently?
* After departure of the 1st leg I can adjust times/days free of charge as long as the order of destinations remains unchanged?
* If I also want to adjust the order/destinations after departure of the 1st leg, I can do this for 125USD (per adjustment)?

Of course, all of this is subject to the basic rules (general routing, 16 segments, 34,000 miles).

Am I right or missing something?
