Also not paying the fuel charges and taxes is one reason trying to get open tickets- In many cases Check in agent forget it simply.
Not paying this extra charges sometimes an fully open fare ticket is not so much more anymore vs. a (slightly) discounted ticket binding you to a carrier or carrier group (nicely they call it market fare).
Also there is the possibility to have a validity which is more than one year for the paid price- at least i had this case once.
Hi,
at LH KUL office they have sold open tickets recently-reluctently but they did.
Advantage: no fuel charges-no taxes, but when flying SQ they check it!!.
Also you are really flexible- you can change covered routing-often bought KUL-SIN-ZRH and get flights SIN to ZRH via FRA/CDG/AMS/MXP/VIE.
Also its a fully paid ticket in C or F you get less problems with waitisting when fully booked.
cheers
