No, that's fine - I booked one of those just a few weeks ago.

Thanks. Might end up a simple DUB-FRA-ORD anyway now, times look a little better.

I know this has been covered or variations on it but I'd quite like a definitive answer.

Would LHR-BKK (Stopover)-HKG be valid?
And the same: would HKG-SIN-LHR be a valid routing?

Yes and yes.

Possible or not? TYO-HKG via SEL
 
Hiya,

coudl anyone shed some wisdom on the 'legality' of the following routing:

TYO (Tokyo) - SEL (Seoul)
SEL (Seoul) - HKG (Hong Kong)
HKG (Hong Kong) - TYO (Tokyo)

Would it be possible to ticket this as a single Z8 return trip as TYO-HKG w. stopover in SEL?

Thinking that OZ would be the most suitable carrier?

Thanks so much,
Mike :)

I don't see a problem with this. Maybe book as 2 one ways if you are afraid they insist on going direct on the outbound leg

Totally fine ^

hey,

thanks in advance for any help!

Is this legal and are my calculations right?

FLR-ZRH C LX ZRH-DAR F LX (Destination) JRO-ADD C ET (Stop) ADD-DAR or ADD-NBO C ET DAR/NBO-ZRH F LX ZRH-FLR C LX

37,5k Miles 250 GBP Cash + Tax

Will BD accept the way back? The only option using *A from JRO is going to ADD and from there only LH flies with F (not available) to FRA. So will they allow me going through DAR or NBO?

Should I book this as a return to underline that the only avail. in F is via DAR/NBO ?

Thanks!
Flaw

Trying to find flights from England to Chile and back, but that's not very easy, esp. for a flight back before Easter (3/30, 3/31 or 4/1).

I've found availability on:

SCL-GRU-JNB-ADD (or CAI)-LHR

Is this routing fine? Couldn't find anything simpler...

Seems a bit complicated. I suggest that you call the ICC and see if they can get you on the SQ BCN-GRU flights

Thanks. I called ICC and the routing via JNB and ADD was indeed invalid.

If I fly SQ I would have a 6 hour lay-over at GRU - which lounge can I use (flying in C and being *G)? UA?

And to add to the question - would this be a valid routing: HKG-SIN-BKK-LHR? as Z1-Z8 redemption?

Many thanks!

Hi all,

I've got 39500 miles so was looking to do a Miles + Cash, Zone 1-4 in Business -

LH: BHX - FRA (transit) - EZE
TP: GIG - LIS (transit) - MAN

Never actually redeemed any miles before... so I think i'm right that the above will be 37500 miles + 255 cash + taxes/surcharges. I've looked on ANA and the flights I want are available. Would this be ok going through FRA, a quicker flight would be on TAM however i'm booking for Sept so not available yet.

Thanks in advance :)

You can use both TAM and UA lounges. I recommed you UA's one. TAM's one is small, packed and uncomfortable. UA's is bigger, more comfortable and has better food choices. Be ready to return to the 70's.

I wouldn't say it is impossible, but it is pushing it a bit. One connection / stop in Z7 should be okay, but SIN & BKK is a little greedy. Some agents may say no, others may not blink an eye lid.
