This is a great datapoint - thanks. My last trip through I wanted to save my US$ and tried three booths in T2. None would take GBP, CAD, or AUD. since the devaluation the USD and EUR are definitely king. Really surprised at the credit card datapoint but good to know!

thanks, will take the train if it's available. Else can go with uber/taxi i guess

Wow. Did NOT see this a couple weeks ago - and I walked a lot. Be prepared to ask a lot of questions to find it. Signage at CAI is awful. Thanks for the datapoint!

Yeah, I actually have no idea where the entrance to it is in each terminal. But I typically find the security staff lingering around the be helpful enough, I have gotten lost trying to walk T2 to T3 for the LeMeridien. I've got something like a 4-5 hour stop in July, will try to investigate.

I noticed the site mentions there's an airside version of it as well, which would shock me if true knowing how security obsessed that airport is. I've definitely seen the train in operation on a couple of visits though, so know it does exist somewhere.

Partial quote from web site:
Thus, the vice president of the implementing company Bernard Schocker, who explained that this train is moving electronically on a kind of pillows and not on wheels and is using computer without human intervention. The video illustrates the Air-side and Land-side, The Airside is mainly for transit passengers passing from one terminal to another without going through customs as they are still in the transit area. As for the Land-side, it is mainly for the general public to use to move freely within the airport. All trains and stations were also provided with various fire alarm systems and emergency exits to ensure the safety and security of passengers with trains, stations and along routes.

Last flight of an xONEx itinerary
 

Quote:
7. MAXIMUM STAY Return travel from the last stopover point must commence no later than 12 months after departure.

So does this mean that an itinerary begun on July 1, 2023, say, could have its last flight depart on July 1, 2024, and that flight could arrive on July 2, 2024?

Thanks

No. Your example departure on 1JUL24 would be one year and one day following the start of 1JUL23. Your last flight departure could be no later than 30JUN24 as that day would still be within 12 months of the start.

Sharing my experience with taking the train (APM) from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 today.

Stepping out from Terminal 2, lots of taxi drivers will offer their services to take you from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. When ask if there is any train, they will just ignore the question. The rate was started at USD10, then dropped USD7, then final going rate seems to be USD5.

From Terminal 2, you can actually see a train track (at level 2) towards the right side. Just cross the road to the opposite building (is that Terminal 3), go up one floor, then the train stop is right there.

The name of the Train Stop is Terminal 2, 3
It goes from
Terminal 2, 3 - Car park - Air Mall - Terminal 1
It's single track that the train go back and forth, all land side.

After I clear immigration in Terminal 1 (ie in air side), before going up the escalator to lounge. I saw this sign, so there might be an airside connection.
But I didnt manage to explore, my wife was a bit overwhelm with the chaos in Terminal 1.

I will try my best not to ever transit in Terminal 1 again.

Hi, hoping to get some feedback from the community on a DONE4 itinerary we're working on. We did one before in 2019 and for some lucky reason the routing at the time just worked with the RTW booking tool and it was easy to check validity to make sure we stayed within rules.

This time around there's a few segments in there (SYD-CMB and CMB-BKK on SriLankan in particular) which the RTW booking tool can't handle it seems. I've gone through the rules several times and think the below itinerary is ok - but if you see something which breaks the conditions please do nudge me!

OSL-LHR-IAD-SEA-ANC-DFW-MEL [side trip via CHC to NAN] NAN-SYD-CMB-BKK-KIX-CTS-HKG [side trip via CTU to ALA] ALA-DOH-OSL

You didn't mention which cities you actually want to go to versus which are just MRs. So I assumed that they're all interchangeable. The itinerary you have yields 44,452 BIS miles by Milecalc. Changing it to OSL-DOH-SEA-DFW-ANC-DFW-MEL-NAN-SYD-CMB-BKK-KIX-CTS-HKG-ALA-DOH-OSL increases it to 51,467 miles.

Question regarding surface segments and stop over.

If i have a flight CDG -> JFK, LGA -> MIA, I know that I will have 3 segments(2 flight segments + 1 surface segment), but does it count as 2 stopovers or 3 stopovers for NA?

JFK,LGA counts as one stopover, and MIA as a second stopover

(Not that it matters on a Oneworld Explorer. Other than a max of two stopovers in the continent of origin there is no restriction on stopovers)

Did you add stops successfully?

Hi,
I haven't try to add stop, because still undecided on the rest of the itinerary.

A quick update after my 55 minutes call with Qantas.
Here's my current itinerary
KUL - NRT MH88
HND - GMP JL91
ICN - KUL MH39

A few things I trying to accomplish,
1. Change from MH88 to MH70 and dates
2. Change from MH39 to MH67 and dates
3. Save the 2 surface segment between NRT-HND, and GMP-INC, by changing JL91 (HND-GMP) to JL5201 (NRT-ICN) (code share by Korean Air, found it in JL homepage)
4. If 1 is done, book myself under MH70 and my wife under QR5398, it's the same flight, but market under QR

Outcome,
1 & 2 - no problem, initially the agent said I need to pay fare difference. I said ok, pls check. After 15 minutes, she said, no need to pay.
3. She cant find it in Qantas system, thus cant change to this
4. She can split one booking to multiple (this was what chan1108 asked), so if QR5398 exist in Qantas system, then she would change for me. But same with 3, she cant find it. Thus no change.

Would like to get some advice, 3 & 4 sounds logic to me, should I give up or call with again or try with twitter team?
