None. It's a fare that has been around for months, so nothing weird about it.

It wasn't available a couple of weeks ago. The website didn't recognise NCL as a airport code.

I'm using this site: http://www.omanair.com/en/

NCL comes up. It offers a couple of choices including an immediate connection CDG-NCL, or you can take the flight the next day. Trying to add a stopover in MCT pushes the fare sky high.

The issue is adding a stopover in CDG, it works in expedia.com but not on omanair.com, overnight stop in CDG (within 24 hours) will still tag your bag to NCL.

The airlines' website works if you simply enter 1 way or rt NCL-MNL, not multi-city.

I have booked this trip and have a overnight stop in CDG , I am taking the flight to NCL the next afternoon.

I would have thought It would be quite reasonable to ask to collect may bags in CDG and re check them the next day for a overnight stop , as I will need to leave the airport and stay in a hotel.

Yeah I have done that before. Was with BA though but they are harder to please.

Can't even get the stopover in CDG to work on Expedia.. Super annoying. I'm trying next year as far into february as possible, any help please? :-)

Ah I see. I'm able to price one-way/return but without adding the stopover though (on Expedia). Just can't get the stopover to work..

So... on my exMNL is being operated by a three class A330... F cabin is showing available for business class seating, but there's no way to change my current seat on line. Any way to do this other than wait for OLCI? (I'm reluctant to call the airline and draw any attention to this fare).

Mine is on the new config A330. So same cabin as the 787. I believe the only way to do seat assignments is to call them up. No other way.

I changed flights on line and moved from new to old seating. No biggie except I want the F seats

Have people called before to select seats? Or just let it go and not draw attention to the fare?

I don't see any problem calling in. WY publish these fares frequently, often rotates between city pairs in Europe and SE Asia. Or you can also try checking in early and see if they can seat you in the F cabin.

Its been around for a while now I am sure others have called it in. You should try and get the seat sooner rather then later.
