I thought I had a ticket all sorted through BA in South Africa but a phone call tonight put paid to that. They were telling me I was breaking some of the rules despite the online tool saying it's a valid itinerary.
JNB-LHR, LHR-LAX-DFW-SEA-DFW, DFW-LGA, LGA-DFW-LAX-HKG-BOM-HKG-DEL, DEL-NRT-SYD, SYD-HKG-JNB
Can someone point me to where I've apparently gone wrong? I guess to keep the ticket I'll have to modify the itinerary.
One potential problem:
Is your final visit to HKG (between SYD and JNB) a stopover - meaning more than 24hrs?
Since this is an additional visit to Asia, it must be a transit, meaning less than 24 hours
Everything else looks fine to me.
Some years ago there were reports here on FT that agents were disallowing the additional visit to Asia unless it was a transit between South West Pacific and Europe. However, the on-line booking tools allows other transits and so agents should have no reason to disallow your's.
FYI the actual wording of the rule is:
Two permitted in Asia when one is a transfer without stopover or on direct single plane service between
the Southwest Pacific and Europe.
