In January or February of this year I successfully changed the first flight on a DONE4. AA insisted it wasn't possible but I insisted they direct me to the relevant section of the technical rule sheet for the oneworld explorer fare. They couldn't.

Of course if you change the flight within a period where there is no price increase the reissue against current prices does not make any difference.

Trust me, it is there. There are two rule sheets by the way. The one published on the OneWorld website and the one by the issuing airline. The latter states the reissue first segment situation.
To illustrate: when CX made me miss my first flight of an DONE5 they had to reissue themselves against the new rate and reimburse me for the difference in order to stick to IATA rules. Silly, but true. (Money never changed hands, but my ticket does have the new price etc).

It has always been there as far as I know. Obviously the rule only kicks in when there actually is a price difference. Maybe if the difference is not so substantial they don't charge you? In my case the price difference was over $800,-.
And again: it is not in the ruile sheet on OW but the specific sheet from the airline. I posted a link to one in an earlier reply (#14) to this topic.

If there was, I don't know what to tell you. The rules are clear but clearly not alwasy applied. The link to the rule sheet is in reply 14.

When you say "No change in price" do you mean no change in price to you (that is, no re-price), or that the itinerary priced the same (that is, you could purchase the same itinerary at the same price on the date of the change)?

And I indeed meant was there a difference in price between the day you originally bought the ticket and the time you made the change to the first flight (e.g. was there a published price increase)?
