I'd appreciate info not only on the routing, but any non-obvious advice about any of the planned destinations and transfers. Thanks for any help!
I think the route as amended is okay, provided the issuing carrier regards SVX as being in Europe and not Asia. IIRC there was some question about Ekaterinburg/Sverdlovsk (east of the Urals) being accessible as a "Europe" segment. And I just remembered that BMED (who operate the SVX service from London) have been acquired by BMI and by the time you fly there may be some issue with their eligibility for OWE tickets. This thread - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=655787 - quoted a BMI press release thusly -
We have already reached an agreement with British Airways that will see the franchise agreement and any other commercial agreements that exist with BMED continuing for a transitionary period until the end of the Summer 2007 timetable.
