My question is, is novosibirsk, irkutsk and yakutsk in Europe or Asia?
Firstly I was told I had too many segments in Europe, so I changed it, now I am told I have too many in Asia (even with booking 2 extra segments).
I do not trust this and do not want to be paying more. My current itinerary is:
LHR-LAX-SFO-LAX-NRT-DEL-NRT-PEK-IKT-OVB-YKS-MOS-SVO-LHR
Thanks for your help!
As christep said:
The fare to be charged is determined by the number of geographic continents in the itinerary including the continent of origin. Continents are defined as:
*Europe-Middle East (Including Algeria, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Morocco, Russia both east and west of the Urals, Sudan, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan )
Also you may have a problem with too many stopovers in the continent of origin unless you are just transitting all of those cities:
2. Maximum two stopovers permitted in the continent of origin of which a maximum of one stopover is permitted in each direction in the country of origin.
Also you must keep in mind the limitation on flights between Russia east and west of the Urals:
(h) A minimum of 3 and maximum of 16 segments, including surface segments between any 2 airports, are permitted for the entire journey. Free flight segments within each continent are limited as follows:
Africa 4
Asia 4
Europe Middle East 4
((*not more than 2 of which may be between the UK and ALBANIA, ALGERIA, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA, BULGARIA, CROATIA, CYPRUS, GREECE, ISRAEL, LIBYA, MALTA, MIDDLE EAST, MOROCCO, ROMANIA, RUSSIA, SERBIA, TUNISIA, TURKEY, UKRAINE.
