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:

Quote:

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.

Business class traveller can travel in QR first on some flights:

Quote:

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.

in section 10. Sales Restrictions there used to be a list of restrictions along the lines of "If the itinerary includes airline X, then airline Y ticket stock cannot be used". This is replaced with the following helpful text:

Quote:

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

Quote:

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

New wording

Quote:

4C. Travel must be in a continuous forward direction between TC1-TC2-TC3. Backtracking within a continent is permitted

Of course the ticket still has a limit of four stopovers per region and a MPM limit.

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:

If you do not return to the point of origin, then the mileage of the resulting 'open jaw' must be included. The relevant rule is:

Quote:

4(d) Travel may originate at any point for which fares are published and must terminate at the same point, except that origin-destination surface segments are permitted as follows:
a. within country of origin
b. within the Middle East
c. between USA and Canada
d. between HKG and China
e. between Malaysia and SIN
f. within Africa
g. between Maldives and Sri Lanka/India
NOTE: Mileage for origin-destination surface will be included in the total 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:

Quote:

4H. Intermediate surface sectors are permitted at the passenger’s expense. Transoceanic surface sectors between TC1-TC2 and TC1-TC3 are not permitted.
EXCEPTION: For travel originating in the South West Pacific, one transoceanic surface sector between TC1-TC2 or TC1-TC3 is permitted.
~~Surface sectors must be included in the total mileage.~~

Can multiple open jaw in the middle of the ticket allowed? this could be useful as they dont count the mileage

It would appear so

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.

[barrack room lawyer hat on]
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:

Quote:

QF 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)

New wording:

Quote:

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

So stopovers in LAX are now allowed
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

In section 15 - Sales Restrictions, the following paragraph has been removed

Quote:

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?

A strict change was hastily rushed in after the DoT fined QF for violating its cabotage laws. (QF had been allowing its metal to be used on domestic sectors on itineraries that did not go to Australia, in violation of US law.) This relaxes the restriction to be in accordance with US law.

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)

2022-Apr-21 New Version of the Rule Sheet - S7 removed from the list of Oneworld Airlines
According to diffchecker this is the only change

I read through the Global Explorer rules but not sure I understood this point, hence the question: Is there any routing limitations for LATAM flights? For example, would the following be allowed to be included in a xGLOBxx itinerary: AKL-SCL-GIG-SCL-BOG? (I couldn't find a better routing to include both Rio and Bogota).

Also, for the distance calculation, it is nautical miles, right?

Many thanks.

I was googling this and found an official (looking) IATA document titled 'Why are nautical miles used in aviation?' I then did more digging and indeed it is statute miles for ticket distance calculation purposes.

Anyone able to confirm whether surface sectors are currently included DGLOB34 mileage? Thanks

Code:

            surface sectors must be included in the total

            mileage.

Code:

            note - mileage for origin-destination surface

          will be included in the total mileage.

2022-Aug-31 New Version of the Rule Sheet

- LATAM Group removed from the airlines that can be used :td:
- Comair removed from the list of BA affiliated Airlines (operated in southern Africa)

Just as I was planning a DGLOB34, to include a LATAM flight in South America (BOG-SCL) :(

I hope [MENTION=2110]R2[/MENTION] bought the ticket before this change (see post #17)

Way too late I know, but I can confirm that the mileage of the surface segment on my current DGLOB34 was included in the total mileage.

2023-May-01 Second Visit to Asia rule change

2023-May-01 Second Visit to Asia rule change
According to diffchecker, this is the only change.

Quote:
4(f) Only one intercontinental departure and one intercontinental arrival permitted in each continent except as follows:

Two permitted in North America.
Two permitted in Asia ~~when one is for travel between the Southwest Pacific and Europe/Middle East~~.
Two permitted in Europe/Middle East for travel to/from/via Africa. If travel is to/from Europe in both directions, itinerary may not include Mauritius/South Africa.

The indicated words have been removed. This is an improvement!
It makes a second visit to Asia allowable when:

One is for travel to Africa (e.g. AKL-HKG-JNB)
Point of Origin is in Asia and the itinerary is westbound, for example:
CMB-LHR...LAX-NRT-HKG-SYD-PER-HKG-CMB

2023-Oct-05 - Jetstar Pacific dropped/ Change to Premium Economy Surcharge Table

Jetstar Pacific (BL) dropped from the list of airlines.
