One word answer??

Do all one world carriers enforce the no segment upgrade rule on circle and other rtw type products??

What do you mean "no sgment upgrade" rule?

Yes, its a fare rule. However, it does not apply to upgrades using FF miles/points. It means you cannot pay money to upgrade the fare from say economy to business class on a sector-by-sector basis. The exception is for certain premium economy upgrades which can be applied to an economy fare for a surcharge.

Gee that was quick .. do you guys have a life ..

Thanks very much ... so if there was a sector with F , I might be able to upgrade from D using points ??

 

[simongr]

Very much so - in fact I think NM is trying to do that right now

I have upgraded numerous D class QF flights to F and numerous AA D class flights to A using points and vouchers.

that is exactly what I did earlier this week. Upgraded D->F using QF FF points. I have also confirmed upgrades on two AA sectors (NRT-DFW and LAX-LHR) using AAdvantage eVIPs on the same trip.

Great.. I will start looking

As an aside .. and maybe worth a new post .. my dcir29sa tickets are on LAN Chile Paper and the add on taxes were very miniscule.
Something about LAN having a special deal with one world that exempts it from fuel surcharges .. might be worth knowing for some.

We fly jal > nrt _ aa >jfk >mia>uio ..then its lan all the way to the end of the world and back to civilisation...

Planned a rtw trip last year which I will do later this year. At the time I rang QF FF and asked about upgrades on QF sectors (only 3 out of 16) using points and the answer was yes.

How does one get their OneWorld fares ticketed with Lan Chile?

Well .. the way I did it was to be blissfully ignorant ..
The consolidator did the deed .. told the ta .. who told me ..

Which TA? Maybe I can look at doing this myself in future - might be better than booking through the AA RTW desk!
