Changes to a RTW in C
Hi,
I was wondering if I have a RTW in C class and want to make changes - not a routing change, but a change of carrier, e.g. FRA-SIN on SQ rather than LH. Does it cause major problems? As I understand it, once the ticket is paid for each carrier receives their share of the revenue. Now what would happen? Would there be change fees?
Thanks
goodo

* the different carriers (except the one that did provide the ticket) only get their share after the flights.
* this (change of carrrier) will be treated as rerouting:
(rules per oct-2001)

Rudi, I am learning!
I think you agree that for all sectors besides outbound sectors up to and including first international sector rebooking/revalidation is permitted at no charge. Rerouting/reissue is permitted at a charge of USD 75 per reissue.
I thought that routing change (= rerouting) is eg FRA-HKG instead of FRA-SIN and rebooking is another (*A) flight on the same route.
There are three daily services FRA-SIN with the following flight numbers: LH 9762, LH 9764 & LH 778. So what are the consequences if goodo changes form one LH flight number to the other one assuming D-Class is available?

Did that about a year ago. Instead of using LH for SIN-FRA i switched to SQ. Ticketed was LH. SQ had to get an endorsment from LH, but no rerouting fee.
Not sure if the rules have changed, but it did not require a change to the paper ticket except a stamp from LH.

Sorry Rudi, I have to disagree with you on this. If it is a RTW ticket and SQ is one of the carriers flying the same route exactly as LH ie SIN-FRA, you can simply just go to SQ and have the ticket stickered with the new flight. Unless you're taking another carrier which requires a change of aircraft someone enroute like TG via BKK, the ticket does not require a reroute or reissue.
STAR ALLIANCE carriers flying the same route and tickets issued on a STAR ALLIANCE ticket, do not need to be endorsed over. But if you really , really want to, all you need is to get the airline booked on your ticket now to endorse it to SQ.

[i]IAD-FRA-JNB on LH to IAD-MUC-JNB[|i]
this needs even a recalulation of the miles (max miles).

I switched carriers on a C RTW on the route GOT-FRA-SFO from LH to SK/UA combo so I could get my UA 100 % bonus miles. As I remember the nice SK agent in GOT told me that I wouldn't have to pay the $75 because I used the exact same routing. If I switched to GOT-MUC-SFO then I would have to pay a reroute fee. So, at least as of this summer, switching carriers on the exact same routing should not cause you to be charged the $75.
