“Yes sir. JJ must stay in”
I searched and re-read the rules:
“This awards chart is applicable when you redeem a round-trip award ticket with an itinerary which covers:
• Two oneworld alliance airlines, where Cathay Pacific or Dragonair is not included; or
• Three or more oneworld alliance airlines when Cathay Pacific or Dragonair is included.”
I wasn’t convinced. I quickly Whatsapped two other FTers. They all quickly replied the rule should be interpreted as two OW carriers whether CX/KA was included or not.
Of course the agent was wrong. It's 2 OW carriers in addition to CX/KA.
I've had 2 OW carriers other than CX/KA on many occasions. Most recently it was CX + QR + AB for a HKG-FRA-TXL-DOH-HKG itinerary. Can name numerous other itineraries too.
