Would you clarify? I’m not really sure what I’m meant to say.

105N .    NECESSARY TO MANUALLY INSERT AN SSR MESSAGE TO

A) You can download the oneworld electronic timetable by clicking on this link which opens a .exe file, or from the AA website by clicking this link.

The links are invalid
A) You can download the oneworld electronic timetable/routing planning & validation tool by clicking on this link.
The new link should be http://www.oneworld.com/travel_planning/home.cfm

Corrected

So, under Q: Are there any other restrictions that I have per region/continent?, the line about Asia should be changed to reflect this.

Edited to say “Asia - No tickets to Vietnam (other than the CX flight HKG-SGN) or Cambodia permitted.”

Words to the effect that the OWE baggage allowance for the entire itinerary is 2 pieces of 32Kg each (AFAIK and unless modified recently).

For examples where this clarification could have been useful see this thread, or this one.

I suggest this recently added text:

...(with 01JUL06 Pricing here: Pricing: OneWorld Explorer Fare Update 01JUL06)...

be moved to the "cost" section (see below), and the text in bold edited to point to both the 01JUL06 Pricing and the sticky links. (why say 'search' when we can post a link):

Quote:

Q: How much does the ticket cost?
A: The ticket is priced based on the number of continents you visit, a minimum of three and a maximum of six. The pricing varies depending on where in the world the ticket is issued. If want to try to save some money by starting your *ONE* somewhere other than your home to take advantage of local pricing and currency rate differences, do a search - there are various helpful posts around

Under the First Class Routes currently available, the details for QF should now read:

QF - LAX to JFK, SYD and MEL; LHR to SIN, BKK, HKG, SYD and MEL; some flights HKG to SYD and MEL

Yes, need to remove PER-SIN, as only 2-class 333s operate this route (QF 0016/7 was discontinued a while back)

Don't forget to add SYD-SFO + SFO-YVR (seasonal) and SYD-JNB (seasonal F Class offering?), although IIRC, one weekly SYD-JNB (Fridays?) and SYD-SFO service is operated by Qantas' 2-class 747-400s (no First Class, only J/Y).

Cheers

Sorry - I goofed.
Cambodia and Vietnam flights are now allowed, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CX HKG-HAN flights.

So, it should probably just say something simple, like:

"Asia - The CX HKG-HAN flight is not permitted."

Sorry for the confusion

Added as a new Q and A on luggage.

Q: Are there any other restrictions that I have per region/continent?
A: Yes:

South West Pacific - Within Australia only one flight is permitted between Perth and Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne or Sydney, or between Darwin and Melbourne or Sydney. This restriction does not apply for passengers traveling to/from Africa on the Sydney-Perth direct flights.

For the SWP section, I'd suggest the following (which now includes BME and changes the exceptions):

South West Pacific - within Australia only one flight is permitted between:

Perth, and Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne or Sydney
Darwin, and Melbourne or Sydney
Broome, and Melbourne or Sydney

Exceptions - there is no restriction between Sydney/Melbourne & Perth for passengers originating in:

Perth, when in conjunction with travel to/from Jo'burg/Mumbai/Shanghai/Beijing
New Zealand, when in conjunction with travel to/from Jo'burg
