Right?
Maybe I've added wishful thinking when I read previous discussions of this, but what I think I read is that all conditions that applied when your ticket was first issued, including pricing for additional continents, continue to apply. The things like fuel surcharges and "incidental" fees aren't mentioned in the star file and thus the airlines are free to mess with them.
