I would appreciate one last effort from both of you is you find the time in the next few days.
As outlined in my second post, I will do SWP last. So would like your further thoughts as for the itinerary after arriving HKG from LHR.
Returning home from SWP I’m thinking via HKG. I would like to take the CX HKG-JFK flight but know there is little chance. What I have done in the past is arrive HKG the night before, ticketed for the HKG-LAX flight, and check with the counter at “B” about availability for the JFK flight the next morning. It has always worked – after paying the $75 change fee. I’ll try the same thing this trip but realize with two traveling, it will be less likely.
FYI – My outbound will be MCO-LAX-LHR-ATH-LHR-DXB-LHR-HKG
Again, thanks to everyone for the comments
Unfortunately, you can't do both ATH and DXB from LHR - both are on the "two flights only" list - see Line 61 on the rules (update posted today at
