Hi,
I'm thinking of doing a J global explorer from BOM>europe>us>SGN>BOM.

I have to go to Saigon for a friend's wedding; vietnam is ruled out on on OWE, but not global explorer.

Mileage isn't really a problem. but time is, and the only oneworld options i see for saigon>bom are a transfer in HKG or SYD, both of which would involve an overnight stay.

I could do same-day SGN>HGK>DEL trip, but would rather land in BOM.

As I understand it, I'm not allowed to do a surface sector (buy a o/w on vietname airlines from SGN>BKK) to pick up the BKK>BOM flight on CX.

Is there an option that I am missing?
