Re: Maxed out at 8

I was told the same thing today.

I tried to piece together an itinerary for NRT-ASR, ASR-ADD, ADD-NRT with as many 23hr layovers in Europe as possible. I was told that the computer couldn't price my 11 segments itinerary. I cut it down to 9 segments with less layovers, but it sill didn't work. Finally the 8-segment itinerary worked.

So now the 8-segment rule seems to apply to the "N. Asia-Africa" awards as well...

I tried to add more 23 hour stops in Europe (total 10 segments) but the computer kept getting an error.

I was told max is 8 segments on a single ticket. You can have more segments, but you have to do 2 one ways but then you lose the free stopover. Not sure if this is a new hard and fast rule, but every time I tried to do more than 8 segments, I got an error.
