What a beauty~ That's 3 short haul + 1 long haul round trips for 155000 miles in J (before 10/1). Nicely done!
JL is being very stingy with TSA HND lately though, but might be doable if you look for far out dates.

By the way, I just realised I never got around to posting an update on this.
These are done. Number 2, as evident from the link bbbird shared with us.
As for 3 and 4, you can now type continents into the origin/destination text boxes
e.g. Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, or North/South America (traditional chinese characters supported as well) to filter for airports by continents.
You can also type the airline code, e.g. JL, AA, CX to filter destinations by serviced airlines.

Based on the feedback Ive received, the call centre agents have rarely complained about same sector itineraries. The most frequent incorrect assumption the less trained agents have is that an open jaw counts as a stopover. In those cases, gently but firmly tell them they are wrong, or HUCA.

And that tax looks perfectly reasonable, compared to some others Ive seen recently. Congrats!
Just out of curiosity, how far out did you have to go to find TSA HND outbound and inbound on dates that worked together?

I have had an abundance of ticketed data points reported back to me from fellow flyers who have used the tool, that allow me to very confidently say with 100% certainty that duplicate sectors in an ow mc itinerary is ticketable! 😄

Hi Jay, thanks for the great tool. Would you be able to add a button for removal of a segment? Sometimes I realise the route will not work, and in order to remove a segment, I would have to delete the whole itinerary or change every segment to clean up the itinerary.
Eg. SIN-HKG-DOH-SEA-LAX, then I realise I would have to fly back to SIN instead of HKG, so to remove SIN-HKG and make HKG-DOH the first leg, I would have to delete/change all the segments.

Updated route validation as per new rules in effect beginning Oct 10:
BIG ISSUE - Asiamiles Oneworld ticket rules change??? Immediate effect???
The tool will now check to ensure the itinerary adheres to a one stopover / openjaw limit per city. Note that the origin city and destination city (last city of the final leg) can no longer be used for stopovers or enroute openjaw cities.
I'm currently counting both the arriving and departing cities in an openjaw into the limit, i.e. if you have a NRT//KIX open jaw, the tool will flag any further stopovers/openjaws containing either Tokyo or Osaka airports as a violation. If anyone uncovers any evidence to the contrary, please let me know and I will update the rules.
