DL172

I don't think I'll be taking this one up, because it requires overnights in both directions at DCA. On the inbound also requires a change to IAD. I used ITA Matrix. Pretty wide open for January. I'm sure someone will be able to use this.

Unless someone wants to buddy and go touring around D.C.

Would this show up on google flight?

combiblock

can't replicate this...help?

DL172

Use itamatrix. In the box underneath the origin and destination type dca

Also make sure to search calendar view 1-7 days of connection

combiblock

got it thanks!!!

DL172

If anyone is able to get this ticketed let me know. I can get the price on ITA, but I'm not able to ticket.

combiblock

yeah

i get $1102 on AA.com and it forces 1 nt stay HKG.

FWIW, You will lose ~1200 miles if you book flight #137 from DCA as AA will give you direct routing miles (i.e DCA-HKG instead of DCA-DFW-HKG) even though you are connecting in DFW.

Can't replicate on aa, getting 1080 for the lowest.

pmblinn

aglp2k: So, if I'm flying AA LAX-ORD-PEK, I only get miles credit for LAX-PEK?

taxicabnumber

Only if it's the same flight number for both segments.

pmblinn

Perfect. Thanks.

skunker

Can find on google flights which directs to AA.com. Find on ITA and then use mutli-city on google flights. You can pay an extra $20 and fly back from DCA instead of IAD.

DL172

Thanks Skunker! I will look into that.

Is anyone actually going to be doing this?
