Hi,

Is TBS-LHR-PEK(Z2-28) a valid route?

Im thinking the TBS-LHR sector will possibly be considered as backtrack...

I know the trip can be routed through IST for much shorter distance, but I wanna book another separate LHR-TBS Z1-Z2 to take BD gold advantage for free upgrade and Im residing in UK, also to avoid the UK APD.

You might get away with SIN- SGN- BKK- CNX

I am looking for a Z2-Z5 Routing, so I was wondering if a routing like this would be valid:

BUD-ZRH-DAR / Destination /

DAR-CAI-DXB / Stopover /

DXB-FRA/MUC/ZRH-BUD

It's quite detour to Dubai via Cairo.
I guess you have to pay Z2-Z5 & Z5-Z5 & Z5-Z2.

That's what I was thinking too...unfortunately there is no direct *A connection btw. DAR and DXB so the only way way to get to Dubai would be via CAI. Or do you have any other idea how to get there?

Well, I guess it's still pretty cheap even if I have to get another award ticket for DAR-DXB with a transit connection in CAI...

DAR-CAI-BUD is a published *A route.
cannot see how they would allow DAR-CAI-DXB //DXB-FRA/MUC/ZRH-BUD instead.

Of cause it is, but DXB would be a stopover and not just a transit point, so DAR-CAI-BUD doesn't help much in this particular matter.

Either way, I guess I will choose the option of booking three oneways as suggested by AHO:

Z2-Z5 (BUD-ZRH-DAR) in C-F for 18,750 plus 125 GBP Cash
Z5-Z5 (DAR-CAI-DXB) in C 7,500 plus 52,50 GBP Cash
and
Z5-Z2 (DXB-ZRH/FRA/MUC-BUD) in F-C for 18,750 plus 125 Cash or in solely C for 11,250 plus 75 GBP Cash

Total 45,000 Miles plus 302,50 GBP or 37,500 Miles plus 252,50 GBP. For me a excellent redemption ration, I have to say...

HNL-ICN-SIN(stop)-MAN Z11-Z1??

I'm guessing HNL-ICN-LHR-MAN would be fine, but what about the SIN bit?

What do you guys think, allowed or not?

No chance, especially with the stopover.........

LHR-HNL via LAX = 8k
via ICN = 10k

via SIN & ICN = 14k

Hi there,

I've read that Z1 - Z4 via Z3 is allowed but would this be ok or count as a backtrack?

DUB - PHL (stopover - overland) EWR - EZE

Availability seems much better EWR - EZE than it is IAD-EZE on UA.

thanks in advance

Would HKG-SIN(stop)-BKK-LHR be a valid Z1-8 routing or would there be an issue with stoping in Z7?

This is assuming I could not get seats on something direct from SIN-LON of course.

SQ fly direct from SIN to LHR. :D

Yes I know, it's just I'm doubtful I'll be able to grab 2 seats in C for early next year on the SQ direct or have things changed a great deal with the availability on the 77W/380 of late?

Yes, things have changed!

Anyone?
