Airline Award - Award Miles Requirements
14.1 For round-trip awards, Upgrade Awards and Companion Award Travel on single
or dual carriers, the award miles requirements are based on the one-way actual
miles between the origin airport and destination airport. Where the sum of the
outbound one-way distance and the inbound one-way distance are not the
same, the longer distance shall be used to determine the award zone.
14.2
The member or the Nominee may make two stopovers, two transfers or one
open-jaw at either the origin, en route or turnaround point on all airline partners
except Air China and Iberia where no stopovers or open-jaws are permitted.
If
the open-jaw is at the origin, the member or Nominee must return to the country
of origin, though not necessarily to the same city. The member must depart from
the intermediate point on the next available connecting flight. The preceding
is all subject to airline partners’ terms and conditions. For the purposes of this
section, open-jaw means a flight itinerary where the departure city is different
from the returning city, or alternatively, the destination city that a passenger
arrives in is different from the one he/she returns from on the return portion of
the trip.
14.3 For multiple sector award travel, the mileage credits required are that of the
highest class booked in any single itinerary.
14.4 For one-way award travel, the sum of the total sectors to be flown will count for
redemption purposes. In such circumstances, only one en route stopover is allowed.
14.5 To redeem a
oneworld Multi-Carrier Award, the total mileage credits required
in determining the award zone is the sum of the sector distance (between the
origin airports and destination airports) of all sectors in the itinerary.
The member
or Nominee can make a maximum of five stopovers. In addition, two transfers
and two open-jaws are permitted.
Contrasting 14.2 and 14.5, former confines open jaw to same country but latter doesn't. So seems like there is no requirement for same country for oneworld Multi Carrier Awards.
Am I right?
