... do I need to allow for a final surface segment to get back to my origin at JFK (i.e., would my final flown BOS-SFO flight have to be my 19th segment, rather than my 20th, if I'm going to end the trip in SFO)? The rules say that "origin-destination surface segments are permitted" for trips originating in the U.S., but I'm not clear whether that "origin-destination surface segment[]" counts against my 20. Thanks...(hope this question isn't too muddied). Thanks also to Viajero and Gardyloo for clarifying the source of the Star File. Code:
79N . 4. TRAVEL MUST BEGIN AND END THE THE SAME POINT |

You would be fine, the Origin-destination surface does not count as a segment. Note that in Gardyloo's extract, the word segment is not used in the relevant rule:

So with the rule on DAC gone it makes both DAC and CMB orphans - cheap prices but impossible to ticket
Had been hoping they might go the otherway and add CMB to the DAC exception |

I posted it in the OWE FAQ sticky thread.
Edited to add - on the origin point stopover, the Star File rule disagrees with that posted on EF - 29N STOPOVERS 30N ---------- 31N . 32N MAXIMUM 2 33N STOPOVERS PERMITTED IN THE CONTINENT OF ORIGIN. 34N . 35N NO RESTRICTION FOR STOPOVER AT POINT OF ORIGIN. In the copy that's posted here http://www.hardlink.com/~markdu/OWFi...eExplorer.html On page 2, line 35, it says 35N NO RESTRICTION FOR STOPOVER AT POINT OF ORIGIN. On page 5, line 34, it says 34N . 5. TRAVEL MAY NOT BE VIA THE POINT OF ORIGIN. I guess they put in the line on page 5 and forgot to take out the line on page 2? |

Price drop DONE4/AONE4 ex-Japan?
It seems like the base fare for a DONE4/AONE4 ex-Japan has gone down by about 4.7%. I guess that is an enhancement. :)
However, the fares ex-India seem to have gone up. AONE3/4 is up by 12.99%, DONE3/4 is up by 12.00%. Fares ex-South Korea haven't changed. I was only paying attention to xONE3/4 from these countries. |

Unfortunately, not that I can see. What's your source?
I had written down the fares on 11/26. Yesterday when I checked on Oneworld.com, the fares had gone down ex-Japan for a DONE4/AONE4. It's now JPY 743200 / JPY 1072400 on the website. It used to be JPY 780400 / JPY 1126100. What do you think the fares are? Do they match either set? Thanks. |

Since those are the old fares, and in view of the fact that the rules posted on the website are the old rules (dated July) while the new rules are posted on Sabre (where the new fares are, too) I'd be disinclined to take the OW website fare seriously.
When I looked the other day (when this topic first came up), it had the correct price (Y780,400). However, looking now, it has the old price. My sense is that in recent times, they have been very good at keeping the OW site up to date (they certainly posted the ex-NRT fare increase immediately it kicked in) but it looks like somehow they're currently pulling 'old' data. |
