Only theoretical possibility, no reality,
if JL changes JL48 to a direct flight from NRT-GRU,
can they refund it (XONE4 to XONE3) ?
The rule says no refund on decreasing the number of continents.
Or, can we change Asia-(NA)-S.A-Europe-Asia XONE4 to
Asia-S.A.-Europe-Africa-Asia XONE4 without increasing the number of continents ?
For SYD-LHR case, the rule explicitly charge for Asian continent for single flight number flight.
So, if BA/QF provide non-stop flight on this route, theoretically no refund is required.
As related topics, there are some threads about AA's ORD-DEL flight.
