changing a global explorer in an oneworld
 

hi flyertalkers,
A few months ago we bought a global explorer ticket 34.000 miles. After a lot of travellerstalk, I want to ask if somebody knows if it´s possible to change this ticket for an one-world 4 continent ticket. I only used a Cairo - Santiago sector with Iberia and a return to the Falklands with Lan Chile, which are accepted with both tickets. My explorer ticket includes going from Santiago the Chile to Papetee in Tahiti and furter on to New Zealand. In a oneworld ticket can I fly return from Santiago to Tahiti ? I wonder this because changing the ticket can give us more options in Africa and can save us money.
Thanks Whaleshark

With a OneWorld Explorer ticket (continent based with max of 20 segments) you are not allowed to go Santiago-Tahiti-Santiago. Tahiti is in the South West Pacific. Once you have left South America that's it:- no going back.

As for changing a ticket a partly used 34000 mile Global Explorer for a OneWorld Explorer ticket (continent based with max of 20 segments) I very much doubt it. Check the purchase conditions of your ticket with the agent - airline from whom you bought the ticket. They may want to charge you full fare for the sectors flown, and give you any money left over or ask you for more money, and then start again with a OneWorld Explorer ticket
