Not quite sure of your exact plan, but if its something like: BHX-IST-BKK-AKL-BKK-IST-FRA-BHX then it should be fine. If booking as a return flight you would be allowed one stopover, if as two singles you could have two stopovers (for example 1 stop in BKK and 1 stop in HKG could work well if you like that kind of thing). Going to somewhere like NZ BD tends to be reasonable with the connections as its so far away and availability means you need to be creative with routings!
hi littlevoices,
Thanks for this!
Since there is no availability for direct flights on LHR-IST + no availability on LHR to AKL on/around the date we need (it's more convenient for us to travel from BHX anyway), it would be:
BHX-FRA-IST-BKK-AKL-BKK-IST-FRA-BHX with no stopovers (annual leave etc).
Using the ANA tool I can only see the availability by sectors (BHX-FRA-IST-FRA-BHX + IST-BKK-AKL-BKK-IST) so my concern is how the ICC would respond to this!
