Been about 7 years since I was last on a prop (US). The routing is solely time, cost, and personal convenience based.

Has anyone built any interesting routings?

I'd like to try and get IAH-FRA-AKL-SIN-NRT-IAH but I'm not sure how to build such an itinerary (and I have a feeling the CO reward availability search tool is going to still stink).

They list the ZRH First Class Lounge and the UA IFL with asterisks but leave out the terminal in FRA.

That is because that has its own access policy in combination with LH F

Morning, Box. Anything interesting going on today? ;)

Hartmann Oct 27, 2009 7:20 am

Well, they're selling seats on the LH 744 IAH-FRA now, only problem is that the price is now $772+ for the PRG DO :rolleyes:

That's not a valid routing. You'd need RTW because CO doesn't permit TATL on SE Asia/Oceania destinations and you can't go AKL-SIN-NRT in a RTW because of backtracking issues. You'd have to do IAH-LAX-AKL-NRT-SIN-FRA-IAH.

FYI Some carriers are still not showing up for them, for example TK
IS NOT POSSIBLE

Ahhh... guess we'll go TPAC.

Weird routings like that are allowed on BD though correct?

Hopefully they'll have a professional crew there to light and shoot the event.

No but I wanted one. And I don't like seeing more local employers closing - I already have the "Circuit City and Linens-N-Things" Mall. There's a business shift towards the north part of the city.

For those wanting to go to the PRG DO, DRS (Dresden) is one of the closest cities to PRG and actually has a bunch of L fares available. It's still at $514+ but I'm hoping it goes down. The option from IAH gets into DRS at 2pm, giving people some time to spend in the city.

The thing I am noticing with the UA flights that show up is the lack of elite seating.

No. U.S.--->Europe--->New Zealand is not a valid award routing (other than RTW) on any carrier, as far as I am aware.
