Also posted in the openjaw/stopover thread but thought that this might be relevant here, as the agent unequivocally stated that the stopover was seen by the system as an 'additional segment', thus giving me 5 segments on the return and 'breaking' the fare. Has anyone else heard of this?
Original ticketed routing:
CLE-ORD-FRA-BKK-KBV
KBV-BKK-FRA-ORD-CLE
Tried to change to this:
CLE-ORD-FRA-BKK-KBV
KBV-BKK-CDG (Stopover, open jaw)
FRA-ORD-CLE
Sat on the phone for an hour, they tell me this is an invalid routing due to 'too many segments'.
