KVS, thanks for pointing me to the MPM feature. I'm still not sure I'm reading the output quite right.

Example routing: CCU-BOM-LHR-MAD-DUB-ORD-AUS
Result:
[KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0.R2/Diamond - Reference: Maximum Permitted Mileage [MPM]: CCU-BOM-LHR-MAD-DUB-ORD-AUS/AA]

Code:

                                                                
CTY   DC   TPM   CUM   MPM  DC SUR  HGL   LWL   25M  XTRA       
CCU 3                                                           
BOM 3 EH  1035  1035                                            
LON 2 EH  4469  5504  6576  EH  0M  1072     0  8220     0      
MAD 2 EH   785  6289  6549  EH  0M   260     0  8186     0      
DUB 2 EH   905  7194  6921  EH  5M    73   273  8651     0      
CHI 1 AT  3666 10860 11176  AT  0M   316     0 13970     0      
AUS 1 US   970 11830 12319  AT  0M   489     0 15398     0

BTW, this is a real example, because apparently there is no direct way to get from LHR to DUB on a oneworld award.

Question: I am concluding that the MPM from CCU to AUS is 12319 miles, and since my CUM miles are 11830, no surcharge is due. Is that correct?

Should I worry about the DUB line that shows CUM exceeding MPM by 5%. For the routing to be valid without surcharge, do only the origin and destination matter, or are the intermediate CUM and MPM important too?

Thanks!
