I thought I was clear on the rule about terminating in a different country than the originating country but now I'm confused.
Rule 4(c) states: 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 Does this mean that if, for example, you originate in Johannesburg and terminate in Windhoek, Namibia you must allow a final surface sector JNB-WDH? That is to say, there would be a wasted sector such that, at most, you could have only 15 flight sectors with the final sector being the surface sector?(a) within the country of origin (b) within the Middle East (c) between the United States and Canada (d) between HKG and China (e) between Malaysia and SIN (f) within Africa (g) between Maldives & Sri Lanka/India I was under the impression that this rule meant simply you could terminate in a different country than you originated but the inclusion of the words "surface segments" has me confused. On a separate note I see that the tool now allows pricing of itineraries where QR is the first carrier. |

I just got a ticket with 16 segments originating in MPM and terminating in JNB. Nobody mentioned the problem you mentioned. Not only is there no JNB-MPM in oneworld, it would have been the 17th segment. In the past this whole problem has never come up.

It is not a sector at all but rather a difference in origin and destination. It will not contribute to your limit. Indeed I am not convinced that any eticketing system could count a final sector as a surface sector, even if a TA or an airline desired to create a ticket like this.

That has been my understanding but a travel agent I've been dealing with in Maputo has reverted an email from Qatar saying "Kindly advise the passenger that his journey should end in the same country he initially originated from". My itinerary begins in MPM and ends in JNB. Obviously Qatar clearly has no clue about the rules but when I went to the rule sheet to provide the rule back to the TA, I was concerned about the "surface segment" language.

Fugeddaboutit, danger. Call AA or BA and book/ticket with one of them. They have the experience with the OneWorld Explorer product so that these problems are much less likely to occur.

how much does ex MPM really cost? i believe the expeetflyer price is not right.
|
Could I ask that one of the current experts with a bit of free time has a review of the Wiki attached to this post? It seems to me that it is seriously out of date, but I'm no longer enough of an expert on these tickets to do it myself.

I know the 75k RDMs limit is being debated but wanted see if folks agree that this does not effect the EQMs ? I presume these would be unlimited for a RTW ticket ?

Quick question, mostly to make sure I read the fare rules correctly: I booked an ex-SA DONE5 in March 2016 with BA. I might need to cancel the RTW ticket, and I would like to if I am correct in assuming that I would be able to get 100% refund on the BA issued ex-SA DONE5..? Thanks for your help!
|
Apologies, I left out important details about the previous post: I have not starter my DONE5 ex-SA yet... It is due to start in Fall 2016.
