Changes are permitted provided ticketed points remain the same. If the first flight coupon is being changed, and the fare level has increased since ticket issuance, the difference between the old and new fare will be charged. If the fare level has decreased since ticket issuance, no refund will apply. (emphasis added)

I also noticed that the JFK-GRU leg is sold as a JL codeshare on AA metal. Would changing to the JL codeshare cause a reprice of the whole trip?

The ex-OSL base fare has not changed since you bought your ticket. |

I've booked a DONE6 starting from OSL in March which includes:
JFK-GRU (AA) stopover GRU-MIA-PHL (AA) With all three legs in mid September. I need to change the dates of those flights and stopover to early September. The routings wouldn't change at all.

Yes it would but as fares havent changed, really it should be minimal difference due to any currency differences or tax changes.

Excellent thread!

OSL BA/AY LHR stop QR DOH QR DXB stop CX HKG CX SIN stop CX HKG CX TYO stop JL SFO stop AA DFW AA JFK stop BA/AA LHR BA PMI stop AY HEL AY OSL Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise and experiences. |

A map from the Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper OSL-LHR, LHR--DOH-DXB, DXB-HKG-SIN, SIN-HKG-TYO, TYO-SFO, SFO-DFW-JFK, JFK-LHR-PMI, PMI-HEL-OSL A map from the Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper Stopping over in LHR will attract a hefty UK APD when leaving. You have 6 EU-ME segments. Only allowed 4, OSL-LHR, LHR-DOH-DXB, LHR-PMI, PMI-HEL-OSL Be careful about the TYO airport HND & NRT. Any ground segment will count. Going to the far side of a USA continent (east) , then back to the west, then from west to UK will get more miles - more in business class. eg. TYO-JFK-SFO-DFW-LHR (have not checked flights) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...04e4ec0f19.jpg |
Also you have three stopovers in Europe/Middle East (LHR, DXB, PMI)
Since it is your continent of origin, you are allowed only two. |
Thanks for the feedback. I will reduce the EU segments and add some USA segments :tu:

Interesting.
Early September, I did MIA-DOH on AA8137 operated by QR. Lots of date changes prior and I’m pretty AA RTW desk always made it a codeshare. |
I'm having some difficulty with the airline which issued my xONEx ex OSL. It's saying I can't have a stopover in LON, only a transit on my final DOH-LHR-OSL segments.My read of the fare rules is that up to two stopovers are permitted in the continent of origin. I've so far used one, earlier in the journey.

I have a BA-issued DONE3. I'm considering changing one of the segments from a BA code (as ticketed) to the JL code share when D class for the latter becomes available. My question isn't about use of code shares - my itinerary features several of them, though I acknowledge others have reported difficulty booking these. My question is about the consequent change (in my favor) for YR/YQ charges - JL's are about half those of BA. At re-issue will that mean I receive a small refund?
There should be no Explorer change fee, as I'm not changing the ticketed points, though I half expect BA to impose a service fee for the change.

To answer my own earlier question (#3071), in case the information is helpful to someone else.
I managed to get through to the agent who originally booked my ticket. D class grabbed for the code share, change made and within an hour confirmation that taxes had been recalculated £115 in my favour. No change or service fee. Glad I could reach this agent, as a colleague of his who I spoke to earlier told me there was no D class availability. Sometimes it pays to HUACA. |
Well I would like to visit family in UK, but the stopover could be elsewhere such as AMS, I don't mind a side trip on points.
Otherwise, SIN (or BKK) is the only other required stop. TYO would be nice as it has been a few years. Likewise SOF (or SJC) for Silicon Valley. Thank you all. |
