I am booked on EZE-SCL on Air Canada this summer. Lufthansa also flies this route.

United flies, and sells, EZE-MVD as well.

RG sells CDG-AMS on 777. From what I remember reading, there is no seat assignment. Just run and grab whatever you want, in your class of reservation!

non-orthodox LH routes this summer

I had nothing to do on a long flight and looked at the printed LH time table to locate odd routes:

BAK-ASB LH 612

EZE-SCL LH 526
SCL-EZE LH 527

DMM-RUH LH 629
RUH-DMM LH 628

DXB-MCT LH 634

SGN-BKK LH 773

CGK-SIN LH 779
SIN-CGK LH 778

KUL-BKK LH 783

GRU-GIG LH 502


No idea about rights on these routes.

Regards Oliver

Thai TPE-ICN, HKG-TPE for starters.

and pretty much any of the UA trans-pac flights that stop in NRT (such as NRT-TPE, NRT-HKG, NRT-SIN...)

does AC sell ARN-DEL when they need to make fuel stops on the YYZ-DEL flight? I'm assuming not.

This is a very interesting thread. I love unconventional routes for some reason.

HKG-SIN on UA
ZRH-MAN on SQ

I have done EZE-GRU on LH as part of a RTW, so I assume they have traffic rights on that?

Its not possible to book arn-del with ac. I tried it a few months ago but wasnt able to book it. Would have been a good way to use some AC upgrade certs though.

In addition to LAX-LHR, NZ also fly a number of Pacific routes that could be considered 'unconventional':
- From LAX to NAN (Nadi, Fiji), APW (Apia, Western Samoa), TBU (Tonga) and PPT (Papeete, French Polynesia)
- NAN-RAR
- RAR-PPT
- APW-TBU
- Something in Japan, like NGO-NRT or KIX-NRT
