It would be an exchange, not a reissue.

The xONEx tickets allow the route after the first flight to be changed without repricing. That too would be a reissue or an exchange.

I do not deny the accuracy of your conclusion (of which I have no knowledge) but a reissue/exchange is not always a reprice.

supposed to fly dfw anc in a class on a done4 yesterday. planned to spend 25 hours in anc to do a day trip. flight was cancelled and rebooked today on the same day in Y with 1 hour at anc. nothing can be done. being tortured. dont even.get MCE..

Forgive me, but why not cancel the segments and go somewhere else?

I don't know what sort of miles or points you get for twice DFW-ANC in Y but life is too short to spend it in Y.

cx said i need to pay for rerouting, will call aa rtw when it opens.

Also worth saying that staff at the airport have much wider authority to amend your route than a call centre, including ignoring fare rules or other restrictions. They may be willing to endorse you onto AS.

there is no space to.anc from any airlines except sy.

aa rtw desk says they can remove the.2.sectors without fee, but i will need to.pay 125 for route change to.add.it back

In my own experience over several decades, ticket reissues and fare repricing are two different things. Tickets need to be reissued for all sorts of reasons. In some cases (e.g., involuntary changes), the new ticket is an even exchange for the previous ticket. In other cases (e.g., voluntary changes), the new ticket must have the taxes and carrier-imposed fees recalculated, so there may be some add/collect or refund, but the base fare remains unchanged. Per the fare rules, if you change the first flight, or voluntarily change the route after flying the first flight, you pay $125 plus or minus any difference in taxes and carrier-imposed fees, but the base fare remains unchanged.

Since DONEx allow free date/time/carrier changes, why not change the DFW-ANC and subsequent flights on a later date?

The problem with that is the AA flights to ANC are seasonal, running for 7-12 weeks over summer.

Was the poster scheduled for the last flights of the year, then? I could see how that would be a problem. If it was me, I wouldn't fly that distance in Y. Either reschedule or reroute.

A space did come up a few hours before the flight.

did DFW ANC DFW with 1 hour turn...
I had to fly to BOS after DFW.

CX RTW said that I need to pay a routing change fee since AA did rebook me on DFW ANC the next day.

AA RTW said they could drop DFW ANC DFW for me at no cost, but I would need to pay a routing change fee to add back the segment. As my remaining ticket is DFW BOS LAX DOH BCN DOH OSL DOH DUR.

any rerouting would be complicated since the married segment logic by QR, and the low YQ that is currently in the ticket, together with the limited number of direct flight from BOS. It seems the best to fly the same day turn and credit the flight to JL and be done. After all, I have been to ANC 9 times. The main reason to go to ANC is that I had expected the revenue based earning wont start until Oct 1, and I was hoping to pick up 12000 miles per segment on DFW ANC DFW.

Exactly what I had been planning to do until I found no space in the right buckets on the DFW/ANC/DFW flights (and with the AAdvantage program earning change, I've switched to QRPC).

A member on Australian Frequent Flyer has posted some good news for those poor souls who purchase their Explorer fares (among others) from Qantas ex-Australia.

Qantas is abolishing the YQ on tickets issued from 1 September.

It's being discusssed here on FT - in the Qantas Forum http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qanta...rld-fares.html
