Hi guys!
Could you tell me what is the best option to credit it?
Is there any good page to check it?

Thanks OP!

WAW-AMS-HKG
23.55 hrs in HKG
HKG-CTU
2 days
CTU-AMS-WAW

852 EUR all in.

via powertools or not, failed on almost all OTAs, managed to get it finally done through ebookers.de today on first try, thank you NickB. was going to book for friend, but cannot replicate again anywhere now.

Does anyone know if arriving from HKG and continuing to AMS from CTU qualifies for TWOV?

yes - only in case you don't stay longer than 72hrs in China/Chengdu

Have booked the same routing on expedia.de - 832€ plus 16€ credit card surcharge (which is not allowed anymore in the EU since yesterday)

Great itinerary/fare !
Would it be possible to have luggage checked in from WAW to HKG ie picked up in HKG ?

I don't think that tihis would be a problem - at least when the layover is overnight and almost 24 hours.

Fare rules state that flights can be on AF, but I have difficulty getting the AF service to CAN without the price shooting up. Anybody have had any success with this?
I have managed to price up the return leg on AF metal via CAN, 13hrs on their 787 could be nice )) bookable via Delta for 892 Eur
bodory and groovyfly like this.

Try expedia.de or ebookers.de as multicity option. It did not work for me on most sites either.

Did you price WAW-KL-AMS-KL-PAR-KL-HKG... (or return as you say)? Matrix can't price this for me under the low promo fare for unknown reason and prices under higher Z fare only, while routing and transfer rules for the fares are absolutely same.

That won't work: the fare is not available under AF code. It is available on KL and on CZ (and possibly some other Chinese ST airlines - I have not checked that). If you book it under KL code, it will let you route WAW-CDG-AMS-China or vice-versa. OTOH, if you book under CZ code, you will have to go for either WAW-CDG-China or WAW-AMS-China.

I checked and as of now this kind of code share does not extend beyond the Winter timetable. But still it does not answer my question with different Z fares.

To correct myself it is available in Summer timetable too, but seems to be only on some days or not showing in Expertflyer always for some reason.
