RTW confirmation wanted for US segments
I am planning a RTW trip and looking at my US/Canada segments. Can anyone confirm that this is possible?
LHR-SEA
SEA-DFW
DFW-JFK-YVR
YVR-DFW
DFW-LAX
LAX-HKG
I count 5 US segments which should be okay within the 6 segment rule, right?
Also, I am stopping in DFW twice. Will that be a problem? I didn't see any rules about this in the RTW rules on FewMiles' website.
Is there a rule that you can only have 3 stopovers (i.e. more than 24 hours) within the US/Canada?
Thanks for everyone's help.

Looks fine. Stopping in DFW twice should not be a problem. On my last RTW I stopped in SJC twice. I'm sure that when the owe first came out there was limit of 3 free stopovers. I just had a look at the current rules and there is no mention of this, just the maximum number of sectors and the possibility of purchasing two extra (previously you could purchase unlimited sectors). So strictly interpreting the rules it seems that you could do up 8 stopovers in North America (6 free, 2 paid for). I will put this to the test when I book my next RTW.

should be fine....RTW should be able to book this for you. the best thing to do now i found is:
send them a fax, call to follow up, and ask them to call you back after the booking is done
