No change to first fare component
It looks like many new fares (for many airlines) require reprice using CURRENT fares even after departure if changes are made to first fare component.
Anyone knows where it is coming from? Looks like a targeted hit to mistake fares... |
how about an example?
you have flown the 1st seg? then you want to change the ticket? the new ticket is priced as if you are buying it today? & the price of the 1st segment has gone up? sounds ok to me....i think that this is the way its done... |
Can you give one example? I have abused the 'free changes after travel has commenced' on some mistake fares recently. :cool:

What i mentioned only sits in Cat31 (voluntary changes) of the fare rules which are only supposed to be used for automated reissue which is not used everythere so far and not even available for all markets.
So it does not mean the airlines enforce it in practice. On the other hand when I tried to change my one RGN ticket after first component used at BKK DL office the system did not want to follow the rules which I had in the fare, and recalculated all 'as of today'. Actually my feeling mostly went out of SU rules, i seem to have seen same in DL rules but only see classic 'using fares when ticket was issued' now. So maybe false alarm. Randomy checked UA, LX, KL - OK, historic prices after departure (moreover, the rules do not say anything of no show...). Cat 31 not found: LH, AZ, KE, TG. Hopefully what SU is now doing is illegal (Russian law applies for SU tickets): OR - AFTER DEPARTURE OF JOURNEY AND WITHIN TICKET VALIDITY CERTAIN DOMESTIC REISSUE PROVISIONS MAY BE OVERRIDDEN BY THOSE OF SU INTERNATIONAL FARES NO CHARGE CHARGE HIGHEST FEE OF ALL CHANGED FARE COMPONENTS AND REPRICE USING FARES IN EFFECT WHEN TKT WAS ISSUED PROVIDED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET- 1. NO CHANGE TO 1ST FARE COMPONENT 2. WHEN NO INTL COUPONS REMAIN - ALL NEW TRAVEL MUST BE DOMESTIC 3. FULLY FLOWN FARE NOT REPRICED TO FURTHER POINT 4. SU FARES ARE USED 5. ALL RULE AND BOOKING CODE PROVISIONS ARE MET 6. ADV RES IS MEASURED FROM ORIGINAL TKT DATE TO DEPARTURE OF JOURNEY |

How do you know what comprises the fare component or each fare component for an itinerary?
