So can we reschedule a segment vs. flight? Or can we just no show the HEL OSL flight? and take the same airline HEL DFW 7 hours later on a separately booked ticket? This option gets us to DFW 8 hours earlier with 2 less stops than going on to OSL then DFW.
Just trying to understand the options. Thanks.
Oh Bother, I just realized why it's one flight with two segments. Can't have a more than 24 hour layover in Europe once you have done the Europe and US parts of the RTW and are in the ASIA part to return to OSL.
So, now I am nervous about using the same airline in HEL to get to DFW if I no show them earlier the same day.
The other option is to add a 2 stop flight to get from OSL to DFW. Currently don't see a good option for this using AA miles. Would probably book Iceland air if we need to pay cash.
Only bright side of that option is that I might change the HKG OSL to be on Qatar Business vs Finnair Business.
What would you do? Any creative ideas out there? Thanks for all help.
