sorry and thanks.

Thanks for the answer.

That will be great. I'd like to design a route PVG-PEK/CAN/KIX-CAI(Stop over)-FCO by using 37,500miles and 255GBP.

And in Egypt, I could buy an additional round trip ticket for CAI and SSH.

A wonderful journal for Egypt and Italy, HahHah.

I‘ve called BMI customer service line, however, they told me that Zone8(CAN)-Zone2(FCO) via Zone5(CAI) is not permitted.

Which means I could only have a transit stay no longer than 24 hours in Cairo, otherwise, if I'd like to have a stop-over in Cairo, BMI system will charge more than 37500+cashes...

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Call again and speak to another agent. If they will allow you to route via CAI, then you should be allowed a stopover there assuming you haven't used your stopover allocation before CAI.

Tried, but they said that BMI system blocked that kindly of route automatically.

And the agent said if I'd like to have a stop-over at CAI, that will cost a mileage zone8-zone5 plus zone5-zone2...

Thanks for all your help. Are there any other creative routings for CPH - KTM as a z2-10 with stopover? I guess SIN is out? I will discount CAI now. Any other ideas?

please share your result whether CAI is okay for the stopover.

In which case, that is a definite change of policy.

yeah thats a new one.

Has anyone tried redeeming with Aegean Airlines now that they're *A members? Same redemption reference chart I suppose? Will try ANA to see they carry them.

Are we certain of this or whether is a new misinterpretation of the rules?

Has anybody sought clarification from Joanna?

Vancouver -> New York
 

Hope this is the right place to post this. New to flyertalk/BMI forum and need some expertise on planning a route.

I need to get from Vancouver to New York in early March, ideally in as much luxury as possible. Completely new to redeeming with BMI and could really do with some input on which airline to go with and a possible routing.

YVR-YYZ on AC in C, they use their long-haul equipment with lie-flats on a number of flights. For the short hop out of YYZ whatever you prefer (AC und CO have C classes).

CO does not have C class from YYZ. Its all Q400s/Regional Jets. AVOID!

Connection via YYZ on longhaul (777/A333) will indeed be best, followed by AC to EWR/LGA

use Aeroplan.com or Continental.com to find a route

Good thread, very useful info!

I'm going to be in ISB (Z10) in April and would like to do ISB-BKK-LHR, which in itself is fine (although reading about some possible Z10-Z1/2 changes here?). I might factor in a possible stopover.

Question is I'd like to visit one of the SIN/KUL as part of this itinerary, such as ISB-BKK-SIN-LHR, however not sure if this will be valid since BKK-LHR is a direct routing.

Any ideas?
