nov 10th NRT-KTM (destination)

nov 30th KTM- SFO

I called and tried to book, but the agent said I couldn't. I'm not sure if this is valid and I should keep trying to call back, or if this is invalid. If it's invalid, could you let me know why? The agent didn't seem to know.

Thanks

Looks legal to me. Open jaws at the stopover point always seem problematic for agents. Do you already have a way between MNL and NRT and thus don't need it? Maybe the agent would have less troubles if you booked the RT without the OJ and then call back later to drop the segment(s) from MNL to NRT?
