Thanks ELO
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

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.

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

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...

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.
