OR
B: one is a “transfer without stopover” OR “direct single plane service” BETWEEN THE SWP AND EUROPE?
I tried the following with online tool and it validated, but don’t know if it still the same when talking with RTW desk.
AKL-HKG/x-JFK-DFW-ANC-ORD-SJU-LAX-LHR-DXB-LHR-HKG-ICN-HKG-DPS-HKG-AKL
Any ideas? Thanks!
To the best of my knowledge, all attempts over the past couple of years to get one of the airlines' tariff desks to validate any interpretation of the "second Asia entry" rule that
doesn't entail a SWP < > Europe transit have been rejected. If the online tool okays the route, allows payment, and you actually get an e-ticket with a routing like SWP > xAsia > North America on it, count yourself lucky.
