Does anyone have any experience on whether a routing that requires an additional connection/codeshare would be considered valid grounds to deny STPC?
For example I'm looking at PNH-DOH-CPH, (QR971 -> QR159) which has a transit time of 10 hours and 10 minutes.
However there is a routing with a shorter stopover in Doha, but it requires an additional connection in BKK, and one of the sectors is a Bangkok Airways codeshare, PNH-BKK-DOH-CPH (QR4492 -> QR831 -> QR163)
Thoughts? Would be traveling in I if that makes any difference.
