RTW itin.
 

Hi - I'm planning a RTW using a DONEW3, ex. BKK. Can anyone advise if the following itin is legal.

BKK-HKG-DPS(x)-HKG-JFK(x)-SFO(x)-BOS(x)-DFW-YVR(x)-DFW-LAX(x)-LHR(x)-DXB(x)-LHR-HEL(x)-CDG(x)-SIN(x)-BKK.

- 4 Asia segs, 6 NA segs, 4 Euro/ME segs.
- 47172 base miles
- 1410 QF status points

Thank you very much.

Its fine, other than you have two transcontinental flights in the US. Specifically, JFK-SFO and SFO-BOS, and you can only have one. I am also assuming that your (x) means a stopover. If so, then your stopovers are fine.

Darren, thanks for your reply. I notice tfung's US itinerary is: HKG-NYC-DFW-ANC-DFW-BOS-LAX-GRU-SCL-MIA-DFW-LHR. How is this achieved? Or, more correctly, what am I missing? Cheers.

DFW is not considered to be transcontinental.
You can fly SFO-DFW-BOS or SFO-ORD-BOS and that is allowed (but costs 2 segments).

More specifically, you are missing a section of the rules that talks about a transcontinental flight. First, it says you can only have one. Then it defines what is considered a transcontinental flight in terms as a flight between one list of cities on the west coast and one list on the east coast. As number 6 said, Dallas is not going to be included in either of the lists for obvious reasons.
