EF says 7598.00(USD)

When i've done sample routing on the online booking tool it lets me terminate in eg Muscat or elsewhere in the Middle East

Was looking at an xONE but just looking at the Euro segments which are important for an ex-KRT departure

For xxxx- replace with Asia/SWP/Africa/Sth America as you see fit. It was predicated on people buying AONEs wanting to maximise F experiences which limits your routings and makes TATL relatively important.


Interesting. I had been thinking that it may fall into the Africa exception, Africa not necessarily being fully defined.

A bit worried about the massive differences in the x-rate

Which would mean an exchange rate of 2.34. This seems to be all over the place.

I queried this in the KVS thread last month
KVS replied (He quoted SDG14,700 as the base fare for a DONE4 ex-KRT)

So, it seems that if you book through the on-line booking engine, then AA uses the current exchange rate, as specified by a bank not by IATA. Seems fare enough to me.

I have been looking at booking recently AONE6 from KRT. On the return flight, you can terminate in AMM. Saves a segment that way.

Indeed "fare" enough! Thanks for the clarification, pandaperth!

I can go through the booking process on www.oneworld.com for ex-AMM itineraries with first flight on RJ which book through AA but if I try to book ex-KRT I can get to the pricing page but when I click on the book button I keep getting the following:

The following error(s) occured

Our lowest fares are not available for the destination and date requested. Please return to the homepage and click on the ?search by schedule? button to find our most attractive fares. (5685 - 2201)

Any other experiences with this?

I've just been through the motions for a saved ex-KRT DONE4 of mine - I got right through to where I would enter my credit card details. So the tool appears to be working OK.

What is your proposed itinerary? Maybe there is something 'wrong' with it that is not picked up until further along the process?

Argh!! An inadvertent pun!!

Thanks for going through the motions pandaperth- the itinerary that gave me the above error was KRT-AMM-LHR-DFW with the LHR-DFW on a BA-operated AA-coded flight. By changing the transatlantic to an AA-operated flight the error disappeared. I don't know if that was the reason for the error but it seems to resolve it

booking error
 

HI
I"ve had the same experience yes in setting up dummy bookings but it's always been because of some error along the way that the online booking tool hasn't picked up on.
I've managed to get through to the payment page etc but have not yet purchased as I"m hoping to get some information on possible transit/turnaround in KRT without having to get a visa etc

If you've any information that would be great!

Cheers

I'm going to say this again, you cannot do a AMM-KRT-AMM turn around. This is not considered TWOV. I *highly* doubt RJ would let you onto the AMM-KRT flight. I had issues in AMM just two days ago trying to go to EBL because I didn't have a visa. The man at the RJ counter very carefully reviewed the timatic information before finding the exception for travel to Kurdistan by EU/US/Canadian/Japanese citizens.

I recommend either booking a refundable flight and past KRT and cancelling it once you arrive, or entering KRT from another location. Perhaps CAI? You could also enter from your final ME destination. Say you wanted to end in DXB. Buy your round trip positioning flight to DXB and a separate o/w on Flydubai, which is a LCC to KTM. In other words Origin-DXB-KRT-AMM-LHR-xxRTWxx-DXB-Origin.

Ethiopian Air have good connections from JNB via ADD to KRT and a 3 hour connection to RJ's KRT-AMM service :) The big question is: Is punctuality something that is highly valued in Ethiopia???????

Business Class JNB-ADD-KRT is $US1250ai and the saving on an AONE5 ex-KRT versus an AONE6 ex-CPT is around $US5600

The ADD-KRT segment is a steal when purchased as part of a longhaul ET flight. If one wanted to buy just KRT-ADD then this is a relatively costly exercise.
