So, an itinerary such as
nrt-kul-cmb (stop) cmb-doh-adl (stop) adl-per (stop) per-syd (stop) syd-dfw-san (stop) san-dfw-mia (stop) mia-lax-lhr (stop) lhr-doh-jnb (stop) jnb-hkg (stop) hkg-nrt
would be invalid
As you wrote, this routing is invalid.
nrt-kul-cmb (stop) cmb-hkg-adl (stop) adl-per (stop) per-syd (stop) syd-dfw-san (stop) san-dfw-mia (stop) mia-lax-lhr (stop) lhr-doh-jnb (stop) jnb-hkg (stop) hkg-nrt
instead?
This routing seems to be valid.
BTW, you can fly NRT-CMB with UL's direct non-stop flight '4 flights per week). It saves one segment.
