To avoid an upcoming fuel charge, I decided to get my RTW ticketed yesterday. Finally the truth came out when CX reservations passed the itinerary to ticketing. You guys were right all along. I humbly kneel before this mighty omnisapient board. And I will never put the opinion of professional airline agents before the wisdom of this board, I swear.
The CX ticketing agent told me that my RTW was illegal, I would have to buy HKG-NRT-HKG as a separate ticket. Itīs four segments, also in the continent of origin, with 2 stopovers, everbody seems to be mislead by the extra mentioning of 2 stopovers, or whatever. They also say it happens all the time, "reservation people donīt understand ticketing rules!". Good grief.
I guess TPE-NRT-HKG-DEL will work then wonīt it, which lowers the mileage count by almost 8000.
