Is the only option from LHR-YYZ on AC J?

Of course not, but good luck for the online system to show you anything else, especially as part of a longer route.
Not to mention the letdown that would be after coming off two EY F flights.

Got SIN-AUH-JFK in F for two in January. Used ExpertFlyer to find the availability and it booked no problems. 215k miles + $155 fees (for 2 ~~ 107.5k miles + $75 each)

I've booked a JFK-VIE-AUH-SYD-ICN-NRT-JFK. I did the booking online. All segments are business except F from AUH-SYD and NRT-JFK (on ANA). I would either like to change this ticket or book a completely new one with the same departure and return dates but from YYZ instead of JFK. For those who are booking itineraries such as the one i quoted above from mileageking, are you having agents piece each flight together? I tried last night thinking I might be able to do a YYZ-AUH routing (ideally in F from Europe to AUH) to hook up with my AUH-SYD flight and then book a SYD-AUH-LHR-YYZ on the return with two F flights. All was available on the website in pieces but the agent said it couldn't be done. I know it's probably a HUCA situation, but before I try again and again and again I just wanted to see which segments are easier to piece together and which are not if you do get a willing and able agent on the line. Also, are there better times to call when you are more than likely to get a ore helpful and willing supervisor to put such a request through?
Thanks.

I wouldn't give up that ANA segment. The new F product is spectacular.

gspurr

Yes, I know. It's the new F on the flight I have. It looks very nice. However, by going through AUH on EY I would get two flights and F and can get an pretty much an extra whole day in SYD as to get to NRT a have to overnight in ICN. Plus, I live in YYZ and going through immigration in JFK and then taking a flight to YYZ isn't all that appealing.

You'll have to call to book an itinerary similar to mine (you can also go CDG-AUH). Unfortunately you'll need to HUCA until you get an agent who is willing to.

YYZ-LHR-AUH-SYD definitely can work, as this is one of the most direct routes to Sydney, could not figure out why the agent cannot do it for you.

It's one of the most direct routings.... if you ignore that westbound would be much shorter.

E.g. YVR-LHR-AUH-SYD-AKL is pretty much the most direct routing YVR-AKL going eastbound!

terencelai

If you situated in YYZ, going west or east is not going to make much difference to SYD. Picking up YVR to AKL, and heading a total different direction instead go through TPAC, that's an extreme, and even don't know this would be a valid routing when you purposely pick up YVR to AKL as an example.
Anyways, 😆, lol, maybe you do not know MPM rule.

mileageking

Have you booked YVR-LHR-AUH-SYD-AKL? That's just under 17k and way above MPM and wouldn't be a valid routing.

Smiley90

My point was:

YYZ-LHR-AUH-SYD: 14'480mi
YYZ-LAX-SYD: 9663mi

Calling a routing that's 1.5 times longer than the most direct routing "one of the most direct routings possible" seemed a bit disingenuous to me I'd argue it makes a LOT of difference, 5k miles isn't nothing and there are many more direct routings than what you said was "one of the most direct ones".

terencelai

You totally ignore the title of this thread, does Etihad EY even fly N.A. to SYD route via TPAC, bring this up is total pointless in thread, every one of us here does know what you're saying, but totally unrelevant to this thread.

Smiley90

I responded to someone calling YYZ-LHR-AUH-SYD "one of the most direct routes" possible. That's all. Calm down. Clearly not everyone here knows what I'm saying if they made the original statement. Given that AP is TRYING to prevent this routing, and other carriers actually forbid this routing completely, it's relevant that calling it "one of the most direct routes" is factually wrong.

mileageking

For sxxxx & giggles, what's the most logical/direct route from YYZ to PER? Maybe YYZ-LAX-PER which is approx. 11.5k? Well based on MPM of approx. 18k, I could technically fly YYZ-LHR-YVR-SYD-PER lol.
