Can I add that extra ticket into the same then? I don't quite understand the side trip function
You can have a set of one or more flights that are priced and ticketed separately from the RTW. They can be in the same PNR if you make the booking using a travel agent, or an airline willing to do it. The agent puts all your desired flights in the record, then prices and issues the 16 segments of the RTW, then prices and issues the other segment(s).
