New fare rules out of Europe?
I'm currently planning a DONE out of Continental Europe starting in October 2008. Expertflyer shows for my specific travel dates and the 3 and 4 continent options two different fares, respectively:
DONE3/DONE4
DONEWC3/DONEWC4
For the 5 and 6 continent variety only DONE5/DONE6 are displayed.
The fares of DONEWC3/4 are exactly the same as DONE3/4, but the fare rules are different. One of the notable differences is that the new rule remains silent about booking classes on domestic flights in the USA with no business class service.
Any information about this? There is no effective date. (Both fares show the new 16 coupon rule as of 01June08.)

The xONEWCx fares are for the "Circle Explorer" product (aka "circle Indian Ocean") that is not a RTW in that neither the Atlantic nor the Pacific are crossed. It only comes in 3- and 4-continent varieties as the Americas are not included.

Thanks Wasabi Tofu and Gardyloo! @:-)
You are obviously right, that's the Circle Explorer product. I got confused by ...NEW... and the exact same fares ...
