Ideally i would change it to SEA-LHR-ZRH but i assume that would not be possible as i made it a manual transit? Or do you have a different experience? Thanks for the help!
That didn't really answer my question. You're on a xONEx RTW ticket, correct? Which airline issued the ticket?
It's impossible for us to guess at the ease or difficulty in getting it fixed without that info.
The RJ one would easily be eligible for a re-route unless you actually want to spend a day in Jordan. I've been there a few times and it's a very nice country and plenty you can do in 24 hours, but up to you. The visa is slightly expensive in my opinion compared to others in the region. Very high chance you can re-route it on QR which is a FAR FAR superior airline. RJ is about as basic and old school as it gets in business class these days. QR on the other hand is top notch.
For your second one with AY, I'm not exactly following what you mean by manual transit. Your original routing, despite having to enter it like you did will still be a transit on the ticket, not a stopover. Your proposed re-reroute seems viable, but I'm not sure Id' advise it depending on the BA product on that route. Unless it's BA's new Club Suite, the old one is God awful. AY flies to SEA as well don't they? You can also re-route it on QR via DOH if you're after extra miles and a better flight experience. (Yeah A LOT longer in the air, so again priorities do matter)
