LON to LIM - via IAD?
 
Any idea if LON - IAD - LIM would pass for a valid routing?

Thanks

Should be perfectly fine.

Yep you are good to go with that routing.

As it's all on one ticket they should accommodate you onto the next flight. I'm not sure what your options would actually be though. And you never know it might be the same aircraft that takes you to ZAG. Personally I wouldn't worry about the 30 minute connection.

I can't comment on whether C is worth it. I don't even know if there are any lounges worth using.

Thank you very much for your help!

I have some further questions though:

If I search for this flight on staralliance.com or croatiaairlines.com it only shows me the lousy connection leaving at 6:50am, not the one I put together myself. Will it still work?

Also I'm massively confused about the 7500 miles connection fee (or rather 3750 in my case). Will I only have to pay it once, or is it charged twice, or even thrice, given my routing: ZAD-PUY-ZAG-MUC-PAD?

Is there any hope in phoning up the ICC and getting this ticketed for 9750?

Regards,
Jonas.

I looking to do a MAN-EZE-DFW-MAN with a week in both EZE and DFW, and not too fussed about where we connect.

Failing that, would MAN-EZE-IAH-MAN work? This would be part of a CO routing of MAN-EWR-IAH-EZE-IAH-EWR-MAN, but it would be the cradle seats on the 757 and 767 :(

Hi guys, sorry for bothering again.
I'm still looking for creative ways to burn my miles before the greatest FF-programme ever will cease :(
Anyway, it looks like Z5/Z5 connections are really cheap, especially for someone like me who travels to East Africa a lot. Since Morocco is miraculously in the same zone as Tanzania for instance, would it be possible to fly:

CMN-IST-EBB/DAR for a mere 15000 miles in C?

or take TLV as a starting point, up for grabs with easyJet at the moment:

TLV-FRA-BRU-KGL?

is this possibly bookeable through the ICC? It's not on the staralliance website, but it sure is the shortest route with staralliance members!

Cheerio! Jonas

PS: And NO!, I'm not trying to just get off one leg before (i.e. FRA instead of TLV on the return), it really is that cheap to get flights to Morocco and Israel from here, plus it would make for a nice stop over, too!

I Want to go from Europe to India in jan/feb. Anyone Know, if they will accept routings like

Z1/2-BKK/SIN-BLR

as Z1/2-Z10 redemptions?

I didn't hear anything spectacularly good about LH C which is why I'd prefer TG or SQ.

Thanks!

This is back track.
They may charge you as point to point. Which is very expensive.

FRA-BLR = 4603 Miles
FRA-SIN-BLR = 8367 Miles

You're having a laugh surely? :D

Well, not liking LH C isn't a reason for the ICC to allow it, put it that way!

staralliance.com shows LHR-BKK-BLR as a valid routing with TG

That means TG will sell you a ticket for the route. It doesn't necessarily mean that DC will allow someone to book a redemption though, especially if a much more direct routing exists. YMMV

waribai Sep 10, 2010 4:52 am

Would either of these routes be allowed by the ICC?

IST-BKK-KUL-PEK-HKG Only ask because obviously to go from KUL to PEK you need to change in BKK again.....or alternatively
IST-BKK-KUL-SIN-HKG?

Any opinions would be much appreciated :)
