Only if routing is changed (including changing a transit to a stop over). May cost extra if the change is made before departing on the first flight.

And MH has KUL-LHR flights in the system from later this year (the date I looked at were in July).

Is it possible to get to Lord Howe Island on a oneworld explorer ticket? I don't seem to be able to find any availability. And if not can I buy it as an add-on from QF but still manage to get protected connections?

What class are you looking for? LDH is a tough redemption and they may not provide much availability in L or even D(if they even offer a business class) for paid tickets?

Cancel after departure
 

Hi guys, I'm on a LONE4 in the moment and have some questions.
If I want to cancel the trip before my last segment, how much would be refunded? How is the refund calculated? I read the Oneworld Explorer terms but I didn't find an appropriate answer.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum

Refund for not flying the last segment: nothing - zilch.
A LONE4 can be from 3 (e.g. SYD-LHR-LAX-SYD) up to 16 segments
They could ask you to pay point to point for each of the segments flown as you have not complied with the ticket conditions. But I have not seen any post on FT where that has been done.

D but to be honest I'd take anything if I can make the connections with the rest of my fare protected...

Need advice from those in the know. I need to travel from Europe (but can leave from N Africa if a lot cheaper) to GCC (Doha, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Bahrein), Australia (Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney), USA (NYC) and Europe (London, Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Munich, Paris)...

I think a Oneworld RTW Explorer ticket is best given the destinations. Has anyone done a comparison where buying this in Business or (God forbid) Economy makes sense?

Responses appreciated. I will happily provide free advice on France - am recognized by Condé Nast and Travel and Leisure as specialist and can do a deal.

Merci, Thanks, Danke in advance for any concrete advice!!!

Humm, so I just tried to look at a random flight in Dec next year:

http://www.flightstats.com/go/Flight...=0&queryType=D

shows plenty of availability in L- but at rtw.oneworld.com it claims there is no availability between sydney and lord howe on that date. Has anyone had any similar experiences? My understanding was that you could book it as long as there was L-class availability...

A friend of mine has gone to LDH on at least a couple of xONEx tickets; however he's bought all his RTWs through Mindpearl in CPT, not using the online tool. Maybe it's yet another glitch in the (snakebit) tool.

Expertflyer isn't showing any business class availability for random dates on that route; looks like you'll have to look for L (and for random dates I checked next december L was available).

LDH is operated with a DH8 so only economy. A D/AONEx will get an L seat if available.

Thanks for everyone's input. I tried booking a DONEx itinerary on that date using the rtw planner and it wouldn't give me availability- so its sounds like its a glitch at their end. Just to confirm - if there is 'L' availability then I ought to be able to make it work for me as an RTW ticket according to the rules of the ticket even if the planner won't display availability for me?

Thanks,

Paul

From the rules:

Oh, I thought because of Oneworld Explorer Fares (RWR2 RULE 3015), I had a chance to get something back:

"16 b 3) For partially used transportation the refund if any will be the difference between the fare paid and the fare for the transportation used less the fee specified in (1) (which is 10% for Economy) above."

My problem is, I really can't fly at the date of my last and 16th segment. I booked it for the last possible date with the plan to change the date. But now the carrier AB does not offer flights anymore on this route in the time I wanted to fly. There is an indiect option, but this would increase the number of segments to 17 - so it's not possible?

Another question I have is: If I change the routing from AAA-BBB-CCC to AAA-DDD-EEE, does it count as one transaction or as two (so 125 USD change fee or 250 USD change fee?

And is a change fee per person or per booking-number (we are two people on one booking)?

So many questions. Tried to get answers from AA, but they weren't very helpful. Hope you are. Thanks!
