What is RSF mean - sorry newbie still learning?
Thank you.
It won't work as while MIA-DUB is less than MIA-LHR it is not shorter than LHR-DUB.
For an open jaw route to work the distance between the city you land in (on your outbound flight) and the distance you take off (on your inbound flight) has to be shorter than the distance of both the outbound flight and the distance of your inbound flight.
Think of the 3 cities as a triangle with LHR the start and end point. The lengths of the flown sides must be greater than the length of the 3rd non flight side.
RFS stands for Reward Flight Saver where the taxes charged (the cash element) are cheaper than they normally would be . You have to earn or spend at least 1 Avios in the last 12 months to be eligible for RFS pricing.
