cheers, posted on the other thread to see if there is anyway of doing MNL - KL - EDI

Award Route check
 

I would like to know if this routing is possible with awards?

BKK-TLV(STOP OVER)-AMS

Thanks!

I think BKK-TLV is operated by El Al and you cannot redeem as *A award using bmi miles.

There is no *A TLV-AMS direct flight. There is TLV-BRU by SN though.

I dont know if this is valid:

TK - BKK-IST-TLV (STOPOVER)
TK/LH/OS/LX - TLV-(HUB)-AMS

Z7 - Z1

BKK-IST-TLV shows up as a valid routing on staralliance.com

As long as the TLV stopover is allowed and they are not classing it as Europe, then I don't see any reason why your continuation to AMS shoud not be allowed either.

Do you think this is possible ?

FRA - LAX (stop) - CUN
CUN - EWR (stop) - FRA

A specially the LAX Stop, could be interesting
(is it backtracking ?)

or maybe this routing better (to avoid backtracking)

FRA -NYC (Stop)- LAX
LAX - CUN (stop) - NYC - FRA

I've got a question about a couple of possible routings.

The first would be a one-way HND-BKK-HKG on TG, with less than 24 hours in BKK. Would this work as a Z8-Z8 flight?

The second would be a more extensive Z2-Z8: ARN-FRA-NRT on LH, stopover, HND-BKK-HKG on TG.

Grateful for any help.

In the old days it would have worked. But I guess It will be counted as Z8-Z7 RETURN award.

Same here. If you skip BKK, it will be fine. Or ARN-BKK(stop)-HND works also well.

I m not sure if this routing in 1) has been allowed in the past but would find it far fetched to fly from TYO to HKG via BKK even if you don't stop over there. There are multiple flights a day between NRT & HKG and I'm not sure that just 'smartly' insisting on HND will do the trick.

If you plug this into Star Alliance flight search you get possible legal connections via KIX, Seoul (ICN / GMP) or PEK but nothing via BKK most likely because it is a major back tracking.

Give it a try but I would not get upset if they reject it. But then I have had agents who knew little about airports in Japan like HND, CTS, SDJ and thought that the city Singapore belonged to the country Thailand so everything is possible. :D

Thanks for the replies, demue and AHO. I had this idea when I was searching on the Aeroplan web site. That web site suggested a possible itinerary for my dates on Continental, from Narita via GUAM to Hong Kong. So, I thought that if it's possible to fly via Guam, why not BKK?

Hi all. It's my girlfriend's birthday later this year so planning a U.S./Canada trip from the Netherlands in September/October.

Leg 1: AMS to JFK
Leg 2: YYZ to AMS

All in C: 135,000 (or 75,000 + £420)
Leg 1 in C, Leg 2 in M: 112,500 (or 62,500 + £350)

This all seems simple enough, but it will be my first redemption, so I wanted to check.

Any tips for this route (alternatives, *A partner to use) also gladly received. :)

There are no direct flights on your preferred routes so you will have to decide on which *A hubs you will use. I suggest you start by reading the sicky http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-d...s-lounges.html . Though it may appear that there is a lot of info, an evenings study will really pay off.
On the plus side, return trip in biz for 2pax from AMS to North America is only 75k + £510 + taxes

IMO the second routing is much better and won't have any issue

+1. I would also say that if a feasible routing for the OP that this is a much better itinerary and should not cause any protest by ICC agents.

Thanks for help , One more question

Ist possible to fly FRA - PHL make a stop, change the airport, and
fly from NYC to LAX - as a one way award ?
