Wow that would be insane! So how exactly do you go about pricing those out like you mentioned? Do you simply type in each segment one by one at CO's website?
Also, I thought CO only allowed one stopover, but it looks like you have 2 stopovers in the first situation, and 2 stopovers + 2 open jaws the second situation.
Sorry for asking so many questions, but would calling different booking agents result in different answers regarding the routing rules?
There were 2 stopovers in the first one. It let me price it out, so there it is!
Also, it was my understanding that you get a destination, a stopover and then 2 open jaws, so that would work. I could be off now that you mention it.
As far as agents are concerned, it can be hit or miss on how skilled they are. If you call in and spoon feed them the flights and they are willing to price it out manually, then you will have much less problems. If you cross both oceans and do a RTW they are going to say no, but I don't know if they have a little book that says you can't transit the US to Australia via Africa. I really think it might work.
PS: At any given time the UA and CO rewards desks could merge and all of this fun would be over assuming they keep the UA rules.
