- We'd be able to book RTW itineraries on oneworld.com. Hopefully this means we're still able to ring up the carrier of our choice and/or choose who to issue itineraries through, instead of the booking engine automatically defaulting to 'first outbound carrier.'
Not sure of the reliability of the source, but best to issue any itineraries asap.
Quite the enhancements!
Given the already limiting 20 segment rule for xONE5 and xONE6 (ie too few segments to really use those tickets as a mileage/points generator), it'll just get more frustrating with the 16 segment limit. I hope they at least drop the prices if they make that change.
