Wahhh Help
Hi,
Recently called M & M. Wanted to book a 3 regions award from : Fra -Rio or Eze - Auckland - Sydney - Fra
Operator said, that this is one region to much, because the Departure City also counts as a region.
Is this through ? If so why the **** are they calling the award 3 Region ???
Please help
Thanks a lot
Paul

Show us the exact routing.
If you touch (this includes transfering Airports) only 3 regions on outbound and/or return then it might be 3 region award.
I do not know a miles and more partner that flies direct from South america to SYD or AKL so you will fly via North America and thats the fourth region.

So in my Opinion, the best use for an 3 Region ticket is a trip ( starting in Europe) to Australia doing a stopover in Singapur.
In my opinion you can not call this a 3 Region Award.

As PEM points out, there are no *A or M&M partners serving South America to NZ/Australia directly without using another region.
Need to construct it as 2 awards, or a RTW award.
The only South America to NZ/Australia flights are by LAN and Aerolineas Argentinas.
