Add return to 2-for-1 booking with mixed class and open-jaw
Currently have LHR-AUS booked in F, under a 2 for 1 redemption.
I'm looking to add JFK-LHR to that (as an openjaw return) and quite fancied the babybus...is it possible to do this as that would be J?

Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a similar question. If I use a 2-4-1 from LHR to Dallas and then Calgary to Lhr, how would the avios be calculated?
Would each segmented by calculated as one way avios redemptions? Therefore costing you more avios and thus a 'inefficient' way of using a 2-4-1?
Thanks!

What you can't do apparently is *change* to a different zone, e.g. you can't book LHR-HKG//SIN-LHR and then change to LHR-HKG//SYD-LHR - that would require cancellation and rebooking I think. [Is that right, oh wise FTers?]

Once booked a 241 can only be changed within the same zones as the original redemption. See:

However, as others have already said, the underlying answer is that this routing is no problem at all. I haven't encountered even a moment's doubt from any agent.
