Circle Pacific Ex Aus
Hi All,
Some quick questions for the experts out there on the Circle Pacific Fare.
In Business (DCIR22) would the following be possible:
BNE-SYD-HNL, HNL-SFO, SFO-HND-CTS, CTS-HKG-BNE
Great Circle Mapper comes in at 20,038 miles so i think I am ok for miles just not sure about HNL and CTS.
Also could I book through the AA ATW desk?
Thanks for your help!
Chris

Unless I missed a new schedule, you will have to fly SFO-NRT then transfer to HND by the horrible bus or slightly less horrible train connection.
I can't see HND-CTS-HKG as a problem (unless CX drop CTS). You might be safer doing CTS-HND-HKG since JL now fly HND-HKG.
HNL appears OK so long as you use the QF flight (not JQ with a QF number) The risk is that QF may hand over the route to JQ then you are stuffed unless its ticketted.

Further to my comment above, watch out for CX D availability CTS-HKG. I had problems with this 2 yrs ago. For some unknown reason, all Biz availability on their flights disappeared in Jan / Feb. Now maybe they had sold out, but it seemed more like zeroing out of the whole cabin.
