Is this a valid *A RTW Routing?
 

I have three back-to-back-back meetings later this year. The stops are New York, London and Brisbane (in that order), and the trip will originate and terminate in Beijing.

Is the following a valid routing?

PEK-NYC(via NRT or SFO)-LHR-SIN-BNE-SIN-PEK

Thanks in advance.

Is this a revenue/reward ticket? Looks OK to me as your trip involves 1 pacific and 1 atlantic crossing. Depending on the type of RTW ticket you get, there might be mpm issue to be mindful of.

If it's a paid RTW ticket you will probably just go over the 29.000mi, and you can only make one stop in SIN (but a transfer <24hr is OK).

I will ask my routing question here and not start a new thread:

The Australia/New Zealand award and 3-Region is the same ex Europe.
Still I am not sure about Fijis here and Auckland as stopover...

So can I book this OJ with two stopovers?

FRA-SIN (stopover)-MEL and NAN-AKL (stopover)-FRA

Obviously I am planning to buy OW MEL-SYD and SYD-NAN.

I thin its not a valid routing because there are no direct flights from AKL to FRA and it would be necessary to have a second (non-valid) stopover then, right?

NAN-LAX/SFO-FRA wouldn't work also because it would make the trip a RTW (Atlantic & Pacific Ocean) - so any idea how NAN could work?

Thanks for help and ideas.

/edit: Sorry I misread and noticed it's a *-RTW question the OP asked and not about an award ticket...

Hi Roland,

per the award rules you cannot have more than 3 segments per direction and one stop-over in addition to the point of turn around. This would mean either SIN or AKL as stop over.

FRA-SIN(stop over) - MEL (point of turn around/open jaw)/NAN - AKL- (BKK/SIN) - FRA should work, as long as your connection from AKL back to Europe is in SEA again.

Assuming this is a Miles & More award then you can have 4 flights in each direction on a 3 region award. NAN-AKL-HKG/SIN/BKK/PEK/PVG/NRT/KIX-FRA is fine.

That's great news. Thanks a lot davidcito and Kiwi Flyer :) ^

As the question seems to be answered, rather than moving the thread I am just closing it.
