I did not realize this until I had canceled some bookings yesterday; luckily, I was able to rebook everything in a similar-enough fashion. It makes me feel a bit better about my original booking choice for my August trip to China/Singapore because I don’t think there is any way with a segment on ZH involved that I could have found a booking that would have gone through for STW. It also doesn’t work for premium TCON, which would have made it much harder for me to do anyways. That said, I will definitely keep it in mind for any future TATL bookings. My April trip appears to be too booked up already to offer it (fly to AMS, return from BRU), but I found PZ/IN space so feel good about that booking regardless.
