KHI Turn?
Has anyone here ever done a transit or turnaround at KHI? If you could post here what it was like, that would be incredibly helpful to me. Thank you.

Yes, but...

If you’re looking into starting an XONEX from KHI because of the currency devaluation (and I’m looking hard at them right now myself), I don’t know how easy it would be with just an electronic boarding pass if you have to position to KHI and then start a new itinerary. Having the paper boarding pass helped (I feel) avoid any issues at the transit desk/gate. I suspect given the restrictions on airspace, were you to head back out on the same inbound flight, there may be a red flag or two raised which depending on the turnaround time required, could result in unwanted delays. I was also lucky because I speak the language and look like I’m from there... |

IONE3 now just a bit under $1,000 less than ex-CMB. It's certainly getting tempting....

DONE3 is a 3 continent RTW in booking class D, IONE3 is in booking class I, which generally has less availability. There are a number of threads here with a lot of information on these fares, please search / browse around.
The "fare basis" is, generally, xONEy. the "x" refers to the cabin of travel, -- economy, business or first. The codes are "L" for economy, "D" or "I" for business, and "A" for first. The "y" is for how many continents the fare covers. The "continents" for the purposes of this fare are not the same as geographic continents, but rather are really geographic regions as defined by One World which roughly follow continent definitions most of the time. What's more, some continents are divided into "zones" which may factor into the permitted routing. As noted, the differences between I and D for business class are small, but important: 1) I is less expensive than D, 2) There is usually less I inventory than D inventory on a flight, 3) I is not available from all origination points, and 4) I fares are only available for three continent itineraries. If you've never done one of these before, get a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent (or the AA RTW desk), and/or ask questions here in the One World forum. These fares are quite complicated and take a while to figure out. Regards, |

.. IONEx's appear to be a relatively recent product - the first reference I can find in this forum is from just 17 months ago. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29020089-post2243.html |

FWIW, the DONEx's have been around since last century.

I'm in the middle of one now. Yes, the rules are the same.
So now let's revisit your OP (Post #!). Can you shed some light on your own Q? Thanks. |
