Rerouting... Need Help. ONE4
Hi Guys,

This is the end of my ONE4:

JFK-MAD(connecting flight)-TFN-BCN-LHR
All 20 segments will be used.

My problem is the TFN-BCN is no longer a direct flight as when i booked this in jan 07, there is a connection through MAD. So that chews up 1 segment. Correct?

So can i change my route to JFK-MAD(connecting flight)-TFN; (I'll purchase a oneway on my own back to MAD) MAD-CAI-LHR?

The rerouting charge is $125 USD?

Thank You for your help!

Is TFN-BCN open or dated?

In that case yes, you are up for the reissue fee, and when doing this don't forget that you are only allowed 2 stopovers in the continent of origin so that will limit your options.

Is CAI part of Europe or Middle East continent? Would MAD-CAI-LHR.. stopping in CAI be considered 1 stopover? The other stopover is TFN. started trip in LHR.

Will i have to pay additional taxes if choosing new destinations in rerouting?

appreciate your help.

The OW continent is Europe/Middle East, and CAI is part of it, so you should be able to do JFK-xMAD-TFN//MAD-CAI-LHR as part of the reissue. But, don't be too surprised if the airline doing the reissue comes up with the objection that TFN//MAD is 2 stopovers. No, I don't agree with that view, but in such a case my opinion is worth nada.

CAI is in Europe for the purposes of the OWE. If you have no other stopovers in Europe, MAD-CAI-LHR would be allowed.

Taxes will be computed based on the new route; you may or may not get a credit for segments that you don't use.

Well my other stop in Europe is TFN, then stop in CAI.

Is IB better then AA in regards to service/meals/newer aircraft?

Also is the $125 reroute charge one charge for any change i make if i do them all at once?

One charge covers any number of changes made as part of the same reissue.

IB is curently marginally better in J. In economy I prefer AA, because as an elite I can pick an exit row seat when available. In any case, JFK-MAD is IB only so not much of a choice there.

Isn't there a problem in that the surface sector counts against 20 total? Or did the OP buy ticket before that rule came into effect and thus it is not relevant?

The ticket was booked Jan 3 2007. When did this surface segment rule come about?

IIRC, the rule came about ~April 1st - certainaly after Jan '07.

captainflyer, you will be fine on the 20 segment rule in respect to surface segments.

Hi Guys,

Looking at one way flights from TFN -MAD around Jan 4, 5, or 6th 2008 it seems pretty expensive for 1 way. I am getting fares around $250-350 USD. Airline does not matter.

What is a adverage price for that time frame? Suggestions to get back to MAD.

Thanks

Those are the most expensive dates of the year, because of "Reyes", perhaps the most important holiday in Spain after Xmas. These are typical IB oneway fares:

28 Dec 73
29 Dec 73
30 Dec 150
31 Dec 54
01 Jan 119
02 Jan 245
03 Jan 245
04 Jan 245
05 Jan 245
06 Jan 245
07 Jan 245
08 Jan 73
09 Jan 245
10 Jan 73
11 Jan 54
