mm9u, are you sure you have your itinerary string correct? I can understand transiting Asia between Europe and SWP, but you are entering North America twice!

RichLond, I am sticking to my itinerary since I cannot do BKK-HKG-NRT same-day and make my connection in NRT. Plus, if I blow two Asia segments on BKK-HKG-NRT then I will not be able to fit in a trip to India at the end. I just made the booking with BA- all went smoothly except (1) waitlisted on PER-MEL, and (2) no business or first class available on IAD-LAX.
