Around the World Ticket Changes
Quick question for the group in regards to the Around The World Ticket. My fiance and I are in the process of planning this, but due to a job change, there's a small chance we would have to change the entire trip, which leads to my questions.
1) I'm reading there's a 1,000-3,000 change fee for date only - is that per segment or for each change? If we had to change every segment, would it be a per segment charge?
2) If the entire trip needs to be rebooked, are miles refunded?
Thanks!

The 3,000 points per ticket is for canceling OR canceling and re-booking different flight 'numbers' or airlines. The X factor that it is hard to find hard facts on is this.... If you have 4 segments and you have to pick a new flight or route for one of the segments you would cancel and re-book first booking all together. But will the other three segments come back open from your cancel as available award seats or do you run the risk of loosing those in the process.

EDIT/ADD
more, more precisely, 'flight number' can be changed, but you can't change carriers.

I booked my RTW award ticket this January for flights departing in November. A couple of months ago I rescheduled half the segments to next summer - same airlines & routes. There is no requirement for an additional 3,000 miles to change dates as long as the dates are within 12 months of the start of your first segment that was originally ticketed. Good luck and have a fun trip!

Thanks, I did not understand it that way when I booked our trip. That may actually add some options if we need it. Time for a couple more Expert flier alerts.
