In a detailed discussion with the Premium desk about a specific clause in the terms and conditions, I was today told to watch for an email about changes in the program. I got the impression that this information would be sent out in the next week or so.
The T & C on 31st Oct 2005 are at

I immediately became alert, but not alarmed, as to what news may be revealed in the near future.
The news that I am aware of: In clause 13.7.5 , to date, no changes are allowed in the dates of the segments of a Oneworld Award ticket after travel has commenced.
I am informed that for Oneworld Award tickets issued after 29 Sept 2005 , subject to availability, dates of ticketed segments may be changed after travel has commenced.
Whilst this sounds good on the surface, I shall be waiting keenly to see the full announcement, and to see how much further the Terms & Conditions are being pushed along following the drastic enhancements of 25 May 2005. John.
