Changes to the xGLOBnn rule sheet
There is new version of the rule sheet on the oneworld website
GF is dropped, and QR and UL added Rules changes I've spotted are: More African countries for the transit of Europe rule: 2F3. For travel to/from or via Ghana/Kenya/Mozambique/Nigeria/ Rwanda /Seychelles /Tanzania/Uganda two permitted in Europe/Middle East when one is a transfer without stopover between Ghana /Kenya /Mozambique /Nigeria /Rwanda /Seychelles /Tanzania/Uganda and another continent. 3B NOTE: For flights where First or Business Class is not offered or available, passengers may travel in a lower Class, in the applicable booking code for that lower Class. The fare for the highest Class used applies, without compensation. Exceptions – i) ... ii) ... iii) For services within the Middle East and between DOH-TIP, where no Business Class is offered, Business Class passengers may book and travel in A Class on QR, subject to availability. Select a validating carrier which has ticketing agreements with all airlines in the itinerary. Where individual airlines do not have a ticketing agreement e-ticket issue will be supressed. |
New Version - 1-September-2015
An enhancement!
Previous Wording 4C. Travel must be in a continuous forward direction between TC1-TC2-TC3. Backtracking within a continent is permitted except as follows: Backtracking between Hawaii and other points in North America is not permitted 4C. Travel must be in a continuous forward direction between TC1-TC2-TC3. Backtracking within a continent is permitted |
New Version 5 March 2018
I don't know how many new versions there have been since I lasted posted here (in 2015 :yikes: )
but when checking my facts to post in another thread, I realised that there had been two changes concerning the mileage of surface segments:
|
Can multiple open jaw in the middle of the ticket allowed? this could be useful as they dont count the mileage

But the mileage of other surface segments are no longer included. The highlighted words from an old version of the rules have been removed in the current version

I have a feeling that the surface sector mileage is included by default on this kind of circle fare whether or not the fare rules say so.
IMHO - if a restriction is not in the fare rules - and it is not in the general conditions of carriage - then the restriction is not enforceable Because those two 'documents', together with the itinerary, make up the contract between the purchaser and the airline issuing the ticket [/barrack room lawyer hat off] But I have no intention of attempting to purchase a Global Explorer ticket any time soon, so cannot test it And anyway - the restriction was purposely removed from the fare rules; presumably NOT because someone thought "Oh we don't need that because it is implied with this sort of ticket" |
New Version 27 September 2018
Using diffchecker, I have spotted two changes. Section 4(k) has changed wording regarding the QF LAX-JFK vv flight. Previous wording: In section 15 - Sales Restrictions, the following paragraph has been removedQF operated services within the US (eg LAX-JFK vv) not permitted unless booked as a thru-flight segment between Australia and USA (eg SYD-JFK vv) QF operated services within USA (eg LAX-JFK vv) not permitted unless booked in conjunction with a QF operated and marketed online connection or stopover flight at LAX and the new wording would allow connections to/from QF's BNE-LAX and MEL-LAX services, whereas the old wording seemed to imply SYD-JFK or vv were only allowed When travel originates in a Country for which a specific local currency fare is published and the ticket is sold in another country, the fare will be that published for the country of origin converted into the currency of sale at the bank selling rate. |
Pardon my ignorance but what exactly does the change in section 15 mean in terms of say purchasing an ex JNB or ex HND from Australia ?

I think this is reverting the change made a few months ago on QF's LAX-JFK service?

New Version 1 May-2020 - LATAM still included!
The only changes, according to diffchecker are to do with:
- AT (Royal Air Maroc) joining the alliance - LATAM group airlines ceasing to be full members and instead "participate as non-oneworld members" So these routings are still possible: ...AKL-PPT-IPC-SCL-GIG-MAO... ...AKL-PPT-IPC-SCL-GYE-GPS/SCY-UIO... (assuming of course that schedules return to what they were pre you-know-what) |
