"Baggage Regulations";"Passenger Expenses";"Add-ons";"Combinations with other fares"
Can anyone explain these four terms for me?
They are all in the fare rules for *ONE*
(hope the oneworld forum is the appropriate place to ask this
)
From Rule 0:
They are all in the fare rules for *ONE*
(hope the oneworld forum is the appropriate place to ask this
)From Rule 0:
Baggage regulations - the piece system applies to passengers travelling on a oneworld Explorer fare.
Passenger Expenses – Not permitted.
From Rule 10:Passenger Expenses – Not permitted.
Add-ons not permitted
Combinations with other fares not permitted
In particular, do the Rule 10 items mean that you cannot buy say a Visit Sth America pass in conjunction with a *ONE*?
Combinations with other fares not permitted

You explained the add-on rule correctly. A xONEx doesn't entitle you to use any air passes etc. You should keep an eye on this rule as Star Alliance will change this rule tomorrow and allows one add-on to their ATW product.

I'm a little confused. The Visit South America Pass (which is the example the OP used) CAN (according to everyone I've spoken with at the RTW desk) (and at LAN, with respect to its equivalent pass) be purchased "in conjunction with" (i.e., immediately after) purchasing an *ONE* into South America. So, I assume the "no combination with other fares" doesn't prohibit the purchasing of OneWorld airpasses... Am I misunderstanding what you wrote DownUnderFlyer? Thanks.

Can someone confirm that you can actually book other fares with xONEx? And if you can, what is the meaning of the rule then?
EDIT: The LAN website seems to support your information. They only talk about you having to reach South America with OneWorld or some others in order to be eligible for this ticket.

Well, maybe the experts here can share there wisdom with us. It was always my understanding when discussing things with a TA and QF that you can not use any airpass with an ATW. Because the airpasses require an intercontinental return ticket and the xONEx doesn't qualify as such.
