Dear OW4U,
I am currently on my first AONE6 ex MRU and in the process of ordering my second to continue travelling directly after this one is finished. I am now on a paper 20 segment ticket and I can see the advantages of an e-ticket, so no problem with the 16 segments.
The announcement of the possibility of booking the xONEx online was great news. Since I am currently working with the very charming, professional and 'willing to go the extra mile' BA representative at MRU I am somewhat hesitant to wait for the online option to be activated.
In order for me to make the decision which option to use I would like to know:
- Will the online option also include a $300,- ticket issue fee?
- Will the prices for tickets go up to compensate for the loss of agent fees?
- Will OneWorld announce expected price / rule changes to their RTW products in advance?
I love the product (prefer the 'continent' approach and the backtracking) and love the airlines. Just think the management of the RTW routes is a little labour intensive.
Last question: it looks like some OneWorld partners a more hesitant to free up A class seats since I will be always waitlisted for the F class segments, but never for the C class segments (the name CX comes to mind...). Is this a known issue when travelling on a BA AONEx ex MRU (or other low cost option)? Issue resolved!
Thanks for the time!
