Tax/fuel surcharge on open-dated sectors
Is it still possible to have an xONEx with open-dated sectors?
Either way (still possible or not), how are/were such tickets priced? The fuel surcharges and "taxes" differ depending on the carrier, and when making carrier changes on a fully-dated e-ticketed xONEx, the "taxes" are recalculated.

Uh...I thought that if you can have OPEN segments on a TKT (which is rare these days), it always says something like CXOPEN or AAOPEN on the TKT. The carrier code is needed exactly for the purpose of calculating YR / YQ. Otherwise as OP said YR / YQ cannot be calculated. Also you need carrier codes in the Fare Construction field. One might then be able to change an AAOPEN segment to a BA FLT if fare permits so, and I guess whether extra tax needs to be collected then depends on who re-issue the TKT.

You may have open dated with airline coded tickets but when rebooking, the airline must refer to the ORIGINAL issuing airline os that's where all the ticket fare is stored. Without it, your open dated segment cannot be booked and reissued.

AFAIK, open dated segments tend to be booked as stopovers so, aside from airline fees, mandated levies and taxes are assessed on booking.

Is it still possible to get paper tix for xONEx itineraries? Used to be that even after all tickets went electronic, open segments produced a paper ticket.
