There is that flight but it's not every day service? Did you try some particular date or was it just "generally not available"?

Hi No Window seat That is a good question, I cannot answer until Mrs Sobhi responds to my email ,but I am of the opinion that the flight is available only on certain days as you suggested
Thanks ELO

Hi Spotwelder First of all it is a pleasure to have a response from you . I think it is save to say, that you are a legend on the flyertalk, Thanks for the confirmation of BA246
Have a good week ELO

Elo here once again I am having a lot of difficulty with ba in cairo . I am trying to do syd-nyc-scl ,but cairo are saying it is a stopover in new york and that I must do syd-scl, my understanding is that as long as it is under 24hrs and I am continuing on an intercontinental flight it does not matter + BA are saying with my extra stop in america my aone5 is 49480, confused That I am any suggestions greatly received Elo

I do not know what the rules say if there exits a direct flight from SYD to SCL, can you then do a routing with a transit in North America just on your own wish (to get more miles, fly preferred airlines/planes, whatever)...otherwise another entry(=transit) is certainly allowed into N.Am.

My reading of the rules is that SYD-JFK on QF's direct flight, connecting same day with LA's JFK-SCL is valid as a 'transit through NA without stopover'.

In any case, valid or not, I fail to see what on earth it would have to do with PRICE. Either BA allow it under the rules or rejects it as invalid, but price has absolutely nothing to do with it. Something here just doesn't sound right.

Hi Viajero and no window seat. The other outlining problem with Ba cai is that they are qoting me a fare of 49480 with an extra stop in the US , but it still does not make sence as the aone5 is 46270 excluding taxes without extra stop , which I have disputed,what on earth are they playing at ,so far I have been very patient ,and since I have become a member of flyertalk ,with the knowledge I have gained through your comments and studying various threads . I would be stuck Elo

I would suggest that you call BA US/UK and ask what the situation really is.

Cheers

Hi No window seat I tried contacting BA Uk ,they are of the opinion that I am backtracking to london from cai ,then heading to per which violates the east to west etc ELo

I propose you try again (another agent) and have them to check from xONE rules that CAI is part of Europe as a OW continent. Or call BA US...

Or just fax/email your itinerary to emeco and have them issue it.

Hi Thanks for all your help ,okay as you say cai is a part of europe , " is my final itinerary definately AONE5 cai-lhr-per-mel-chc-mel,per-cns,syd-jfk-scl-lim-eze-gru-jfk-dfw-anc-dfw-jfk,bos-mia-lax-lhr-cai , Elo

If you have checked that all the flights really exist, that is a valid xONE5 to me.

What airline and flight number is LHR-PER? I just checked www.itn.net, and can only find connections; I can't find a single flight number covering that entire distance.
