Minimum stay BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND AUSTRALIA FOR K- TYPE FARES TRAVEL FROM INBOUND TRANSPACIFIC SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 2 DAYS AFTER ARRIVAL AT FIRST STOPOVER.
are you suggesting that those who fly for a Do over a weekend arent doing a MR, or as in my case a 9 nighter in SYD and AKL isnt an MR. If it wasnt for the sub $800 fare and DEQM no way would I have taken the trip.
Yrs ago there was the Latin Pass Run where you had to overnight it but 3 days was the min, I guess according to you the hundreds that did that werent MRing either?
I consider a MR any trip that is taken that would not have been except for the cheap fare and want to earn cheap EQMs regardless of the # of days involved.
