Route Check Please

Guys,

Appreciate your thoughts and comment son validity of this route for an LONE5.

PER-xHKG-HEL-LHR-OTP-BUD-LGW,LHR-MRU-xLHR-LAX-JFK,LGA-DFW-HOU-DFW-NRT-TPE-HKG-SYD-AKL-xMEL-PER

I realise this will be an annoying paper ticket!! But I want to call the AA RTW desk tonight to get it underway and I'm a little rusty as it's been a few months since I pulled one of these together.

Thanks paul

For starters I think there are a couple of changes to the rules you have missed noticing.

Max sectors now 16 since eticketing was enforced at the start of June.

Surface sectors including LGW - LHR and JFK - LGA are included as one of your 16.

I think you need to go back to the drawing board for a bit.

Oh no that's really bad you can tell it's been a while since I was on the board. I guess that means MRU is coming out for a start and we're back to a LONE4. Perhaps I'll drop AKL as well and just go HKG-SYD-PER. LGA/LHR I think I can get around by using BA instead of MA, need to check. The JFK/LGA is a bit harder.

LHR-MRU-xLHR-LAX
is not permitted.

See the rule:
For travel to/from or via Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania two permitted in Europe when one is a transfer without stopover between Ghana/Nigeria/Kenya/Uganda/Tanzania and
another continent.

To fix jfk/lga, you could fly AA jfk-dfw as I believe they still offer it

Thanks for all the ideas. I've rearranged to the following:

PER-xHKG-HEL-BUD-CLJ-BUD-LHR-LAX-JFK,LGA-IAH-DFW-NRT-TPE-HKG-SYD-PER

Anyone care to comment on that - is it legal?
