routing question re: FF saver award USA-Asia
Hi, phone agent at CO Elite line cried TILT when I tried to book a NA-SEA trip via Europe, claiming "this is not the most direct routing".
I don't THINK it's a problem booking a trip that way, but certainly the CO website won't recommend it (ANA tool seemed to piece it out OK).
Example: EWR-FRA-BKK using CO, Thai Air. One stop, should be a no-brainer?
Well, of course, the head scratcher for the phone jockey: I needed to connect from NA through EWR and couldn't get a saver award direct to FRA, so that called in LH for LHR-FRA. Oh, and then the ultimate destination in SEA was connecting through BKK... BUT, IF EWR-FRA-BKK is feasible, all the rest should be mere details?
