If you need to change dates/times of flights after u depart are there special numbers u need to call or do you just call the airline involved in the country you are in at that time and ask for the RTW desk? cheers
|
It's generally best to contact the entity who did the ticketing in the first place.

This link is available on the oneworld web site and is a .pdf of a map with the "Continents" highlighted: (note it's ~750K)It could be used to replace the broken rtwinfo link in the OP.

Also, the Caribbean Islands just off the coast of Sth Am are shown to be part of Sth Am, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect (e.g. Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, The Netherlands Antilles). Panama seems to be in both Nth and Sth Am. |

Premium economy upgradeable?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but can't find it.
I'm thinking of booking an (economy) oneworld explorer ticket, with the first leg LHR-CPT. If I take the optional paid upgrade to premium economy (BA WTP), what fare bucket does it book in to, and can that be upgraded with miles to Club World? I also have some AA miles; I know the fare rules imply that you can't mix economy and business segments, but is there anything to stop me upgrading the AA legs with eVIPs or miles? Many thanks in advance! |

Many thanks in advance! BA WTP plus books into 'T'. I don't know the BA rules regarding a futher upgrade to Club World using miles. I expect other FTers will know the answer. No problem at all with upgrading AA legs (on AA metal that is) with AA eVIPS or miles or indeed with 500-mile stickers, which is what I recently did for my BGI-BOS on my LONE4. - Mmm, following Bukhara's comment ("Even assuming you met the various criteria for BA's MFU scheme (ie, purchased directly from BA etc)") in the next post - I'm now unsure if the ticket has to be issued by AA in order to upgrade AA sectors (my ticket was issued by AA). Anyone know for sure? |

Global Explorer Ex. UK
Can I purchase a RTW Global Explorer ticket starting in the UK, I am based in the USA. What price do I pay?...the UK or (tehe) the US one? As the exchange rate is in favour of the dollar at the moment can I pay it with US credit card? Please need help.
|
If you look under section 15 of the Global Explorer rule sheet (available on www.oneworld.com) you will see the the "Canadian" and "European (ECAA)" exceptions apply.
So you would pay the cost relating to the country of origin ... in your case, the UK. |
Thanks for the info everyone.
My question is, if you buy a ticket starting somewhere other than your home country, can you elect to not take the last segment to remain in your home town? Eg I'm from BNE, if I start my LONE4 in AKL, is it possible to finish up in BNE or must you keep going to AKL? |
Starting in AKL, you must book to finish in NZ.
Whether you take that segment or not is up to you. Note that if you do not, you could be charged the full cost of the routing you travelled (which would be invariably a lot more than the original cost of your xONEx). I have come across no reports of this actually happening however. YMMV. |
Just a note for the people who still find them useful, I have moved the hosting of the OW Rules as issued by CX in HKG to a new location here. This are the 14 November 2008 files. I think there may have been some minor changes since then, but regrettably, I am currently without cxagents.com access to confirm this. I'm working on getting it back.

Greetings Everyone,
Im planning to buy a circle trip explorer ticket(Business) from Bombay on Cx. Is there anyway I can check the validity of my route. Or if there are specific site where I can input all the info. My other question is weather Dubai comes under Europe or Africa? apparently you need to book 3 continents All your valuable replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance |
Dubai is (Europe&MiddleEast) not Africa.
I don't know of any way to check the route of a CT ticket except to throw it out to the assembled wisdom here. |
Nice tool
Oneworld fares can be planned and verified at http://oneworldrtw.innosked.com/

Is Easter Island SWP or SA for the purposes of xONEx.
If SWP, doesn't that make it impossible to visit Easter Island on an xONEx, now that QF no longer offers service AKL-PPT (except as codeshare)? Is visiting PPT also now impossible? |

Easter Island in South America - no problem on xONEx
Tahiti in SWP - problem for xONEx as only OW flight is PPT-SCL |

My real concern is losing the FFP... |

Aiya! Sorry about that. Try again here. But note that I have still not regained CXAgents access so these are somewhat dated.

"Ex" means something different - it means originating in the "Ex-" country, viz. "My DONE4 is ex-ICN." |
Question. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere.
I am currently 3 sectors into a LONE4 originally purchased in Argentina. I am considering converting the ticket into a LONE5. What fare will the agent use for the LONE5? The Argentine price or the fare in the country where I plan to get the ticket reissued. Many Thanks |

A: Yes, you can buy up to two more segments per continent, other than the continent of origin, at varying prices depending on the class in which you are booked. You cannot, however, have more than 20 segments in total. |

The rules should be the same for all origins.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone recently encountered problems trying to use AA RTW Desk to book their xONEx when the itinerary does not include any AA segments?
I faced quite an uphill struggle trying to get the agent to make the reservation for me. The agent tried to persuade me to go elsewhere. When that didn't work, the agent mentioned that the tariff office in Dublin will probably not price the ticket. When that also didn't work, the agent simply refused to proceed with the booking. Long story short, I did manage to persuade the agent to finish the booking and this was sent to Dublin to be priced. Has anyone had similar experiences? I'm not sure if there is anything I could actually do if AA refuse to price my DONE5... Anyone has any good suggestions for actions I should take going forward? |

US$125 change fee
I have flown about half a dozen Xone4's, always ex-Australia, purchased either from TAs, Qantas or AA. I have made many time, date and routing changes over the years, and have sometimes had occasion to try and work out what the rules mean. However, I was just now very surprised to learn from Qantas that if I want to make a time or date change that increases the time between destinations to greater than 24 hours, I would be creating a new stopover and this would require a ticket reissue and, therefore, payment of the change fee. I am very indecisive and/or flexible with my travel arrangements, and must have made dozens of date or time changes only (ie, not what I understand to be routing changes), and I have never come across this rule before - is Qantas correct? There is a reference in my rule sheet (I don't know whether it is current - it is entitled "RWR1 RULE 3015
AIR TARIFF RULE 3030/PAT RULE O030") to changes being permitted provided "ticketed points" remain the same - what is a ticketed point, is it the same as a stopover? |
Yes - if the ticket was originally issued as a transit and you wish to change to a stopover then it's a routing change. This was discussed at great length a few months back. The conclusion was that you can b-itch* about the wording all you like, but all airlines and TAs will interpret a change from X to O as a routing change, reissue and change fee.
*(when did this site get the ridiculous censorship that stops me writing that word properly, but which allows me to write bugger, twat and wank? And how do we get it turned off?) |
