The rules say no stop-overs are permitted within Europe. Is Moscow considered a part of Europe for the purpose of this rule? No stop-overs in Moscow?

Whole of Russia is in Z2.

Yes, but Morocco is also in Z2. Morocco is not in Europe.

Moscow is technically in Europe, but the larger part of Russia is not.

They said no stop-overs in Europe. They did not say no stopovers in Z1 and Z2.

So it is all a bit unclear. I guess I would need to call ICC to ask whether stop-overs are permitted in Moscow.

In the world of DC, Zones 1 and 2 are Europe. Morocco was only very recently moved to reflect the starting of bmi routes there and the flight time comparable with European flights.

So save yourself a call to the ICC - stopovers aren't permitted in Moscow I'm afraid.

That is quite impressive!

FRA-NRT-SIN
 
hi guys,

do you have any idea whether the ICC will allow the following routing:

FRA-NRT(stopover)-SIN

thanks for your help

stifle Mar 18, 2011 10:13 am

There's a non-zero chance, but it seems pretty back-tracky to me. The only thing that might tip it in your favour is that NRT uses fewer miles than SIN; for this reason I have heard of trips from LHR-MLE being allowed via SIN.

Case 1:
I tried to book ARN-CPH-SIN(stopover)-PEK as Z2-Z8 oneway award in Dec 2010.
But ICC didn't accepted it, so it ended as CPH-SIN(stopover)-PEK.

Case 2:
I booked ARN-ZRH-SIN(Stopover)-PVG-ZRH-ARN as Z2-Z8 award in Apr 2010.

With the assumption that the stopover will be in Singapore, then this should be a valid routing for a Z2- Z8 ; caveat the ICC rules the minute you try and book, and that the SIN leg is adding around 2,500 miles on ... but it is still a good Z2-Z7-Z8.

Thanks. I will give it a try.

I booked ARN-FRA-SIN(stopover)-HKG before.
This time, I want to visit PVG if this is possible.

Want UK to EZE in Jan - would LHR - JNB - EZE work?
 
Hi,

Been trying to get to USH for Jan 5th (but a few days earlier good) and back from 20/21st Jan (maybe plus a few days)

Looks like *A to EZE is the route.

In EDI/GLA, but can hop to Europe.

Looking for business or first (ie flat bed)

Can't find availability via YYZ (Air Canada) or IAD with United.

Can find LHR - JNB and then JNB to EZE. Doesn't look much further than EDI-CPG-FRA-IAD-EZE for instance.

But would ICC allow?

Or any other good ideas.

stifle Mar 18, 2011 1:29 pm

EDI-CPH(which I presume you meant)-FRA-IAD-EZE is 10,344 miles; EDI-LHR-JNB-EZE is 11,003 and I don't see why that shouldn't be allowed. In the event that the ICC rejects it, I suggest you play agent roulette.

i'd like to double confirm that it is a zone8-zone2 roundtrip which will charge me 50k miles in coach and 75k in business, thanks

If I were you I would call dc or email them so it's confirmed from the source. Their email is diamond.club [at] flybmi.com

is below route allowed as a zone8-zone2 roudtrip?

Would Milan- Zurich- Tokyo narita- Seoul be allowed as one redemption with no stopovers?

Percy Pig Mar 21, 2011 5:24 am

I currently have BZE-IAH-YUL-LHR booked on CO and AC in Biz.

I'm keeping an eye out for the direct IAH-LHR route to see if it comes available (unlikely in July I feel), but if LAX-LHR (on NZ) comes available, do you think I would be allowed to do BZE-IAH-LAX-LHR?

BZE-IAH-YUL-LHR 5799 miles (current route)
BZE-IAH-LAX-LHR 7799 miles (possible route)
