That is interesting to hear ...
Have OW changed the rules in the past 2 years as I was not permitted 2 years ago on a Circle Pacific D26 to fly WLG-SYD-LAX part of my proposed routing as it was not in a continuous West-East direction.
I queried this many times with QF - called back several agents etc - and was only allowed to fly AKL-LAX direct - and is why i did a D rather than an A fare as there is no A option AKL-LAX ....
I wanted to fly WLG-SYD-LAX-JFK-ORD-LAX-HKG-MEL-WLG if I remember correctly
Does that now qualify as a valid routing ?
Many thanks
