Two questions? too many transfers anywhere (can someone explain the 3 transfers rule to me with a lay example...
)
2) Does SJO count as a stop in NA which means 6 stops in NA and one too many. If so, will cutting RNO out rectify the situation.
thanks to the gurus in advance. ^
'Aint no guru - just lot's of practice
- but it looks good to me.
The ruling on the max 5 stopovers in NthAm reads as "within Continental USA/Canada", so San Jose CR (the SJO one) does not fall under that rule.
Transfers in laymans - a transfer is defined (under IATA standard definitions) as a movement through an airport, regardless of if it's a stopover (24 hrs+ between arrival and departure) or transit (- 24 hrs between arrival and departure).
Under the *RTW rules, you may transfer an airport/city maximum of 3 times. This means you can have 3 transits
OR 2 transits and 1 stopover maximum at any one port/city.
Or in another way, you can pass through an airport 3 times maximum on one RTW trip, but of those three times you can only stopover for more than 24 hours on only one of those transfers.
Cheers.
