That's all I could spot atm. Admittedly I've not been paying much attention for a while so I apologise in advance if some/all these are old news.

It's more for the benefit of folks living in the EU as they can now get ex-JNB or ex-ICN tickets at the lower fare.
For us, it'd in theory open up the possibility of using AA UK or other AA offices in the EU (or TAs) to issue tickets for locations where there's no AA presence such as Indonesia. That's if any of these offices accept CC payment remotely.

I would think that the EU exception would be very useful when wanting to book travel starting from places other than Australia. Can just book with the AA ATW desk and pay through AA in London

Interesting how the fare itself does not attract GST (by virtue of being international travel), but the cancellation penalty does attract GST (by virtue of being a service fee).

Or BA MRU. IIRC the mindpearl surcharge is USD35? BA MRU charges USD200 (or something along those lines) i think, as they're the only OW office in MRU which would issue xONExs.

Mindpearl recently charged me USD 30 but I was very happy with the service provided.
Tal Aviation in Sweden charge a similar amount.
My ticket was issued on 31.10.08. Can anyone tell me whether these changes would apply to me - I'm particularly interested in the cancellation penalty. (Not thinking of cancelling but would like to know where I stand.)
