Another interesting difference in the fare rules: the rules in the GDS contain:

Which permits two visits to Asia without restriction.

The fare rules in the OneWorld PDF contain:

Which restricts a second Asia visit to being part of travel between Europe and South Pacific.

No we don't. In fact they're critical when writing.Exactly. Consider this famous actual magazine cover:

Wouldn't it have been better if there had been commas, so it said: "Rachel Ray finds inspiration in cooking, her family, and her dog"?

Hey pandaperth, do you still update this? I have found it immensely valuable over the years and was wondering if you are still keeping the changelog.

Yes I do - my computer reminds me to on the first of every month
There have been no changes since March last year (just checked again before posting)

We can expect one or two changes this year- when Royal Air Maroc joins, and when LaTam leaves the alliance

• maybe just updates to the list of carriers
• though maybe there will be something major, such as changing the continent definitions (see https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onew...finitions.html)
• will be sad to see LaTam go, flew them quite a bit over the last few years

2020-Apr-01 New Version of the Rule Sheet (AT joins alliance)
 

I usually use diffchecker to find the changes, but for some reason it nowadays flags pretty much the whole document as being different (which it isn't)

So I scanned through the new version and the only changes I've spotted are to do with AT (Royal Air Maroc) joining the alliance

PandaPerth: yet again we are indebted to you. You're always one step ahead.

I always used to download the newest RTW rules by going to https://www.oneworld.com/images/faqs/oneworldFAQPDF.pdf

but this now points to the old Feb 2019 version. Could you share the URL or method of downloading the latest version, please?

Oneworld.com does seem to keep moving the link to the rules; this is the page I have been keeping bookmarked:
https://www.oneworld.com/world-travel
Scroll down to oneworld Explorer, the hyperlink leads to the current version of the rules:

Thank you, Jerry. Most helpful.

Indeed, I was impressed and grateful to see [MENTION=165293]pandaperth[/MENTION]'s post on 1 April.

2020-May-01 New Version of the Rule Sheet - LATAM leaves Oneworld
 

According to diffchecker the only rule changes are to do with LATAM (LA & JJ) leaving Oneworld

2021-Apr-01 New Version of the Rule Sheet - AS joins Oneworld
 

According to diffchecker the main changes are to do with AS joining Oneworld
(there are other minor changes)

In particular:has been changed toAA has been flying Fairbanks as well as to Anchorage, so for a while there it was possible to make two trips to Alaska ;)

As always, pandaperth, thank you.

OW seem to have yet again changed the whereabouts of the Rules. Could you kindly share from where to download them. Thanks.

Go to "RTW--->GlobalExplorer--->FAQ-->how is my fare calculated"

Thank you, Mwenenzi.

Now we just need the world to open up again so we can make use of them.

The directions I provided in this post above still work.
