"No minimum stay require for passengers originating in South America or South West Pacific."


Is Australia considered South West Pacific region for this purpose?

Also, I read that 3 stop overs are required for the RTW. Does that mean three stops of more than 24 hours? How strict are these rules as I thought about using this fare but only wanted to stop twice.

The last question is for the Mileage Run experts. On these RTW fares is it possible to do a few short return flights on let's say UA in the US? I don't know whether that counts as backtracking and whether that is allowed at all, but I'm sure there are lots of people who have tried that out in the past.

Yes a stopover is considered "more thanb 24 hours". Australia IS considered SWP for the Star RTW

and yes, you can backtrack on any continent (except special rules for the starting/ffinishin one).

and yes, many of us have done multiple short UA segments (myself: DEN-COS and LAX-SNA) ... as long as you find a ticketing agent willing to work hours for you http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

"Not more than one crossing may be permitted between Area 2 and Area 3 in an entire journey."

What does this mean?

Bumping this up again as I'd like to know as well.

The number of crossing between TC2 (Europe/Africa) and TC3 (Asia) has been restricted for RWSTAR tickets to only one. This means that it is not eligible to go CPT/JNB-SIN...SIN-JNB/CPT. Maybe this restriction does not hurt that much, because SQ stops offering F-Class service to/from South Africa beginning January 2003 onwards.

I read in the rules that:
"8.SINGLE/DOUBLE OPEN JAWS/ROUND TRIPS/CIRCLE TRIPS NOT PERMITTED."

I don't quite understand what that means, but I thought this means that you can't do any trips such as DEN-COS and back. Can anybody clarify that, please?

I just did that routing on my way to DFW. Apparently, it seems to be ok to do a DEN-COS-DEN.

Does anyone have an update to this?

Are the excluded flights still the same--numbering has been changed on LH bus in February so these may have caught that--just want to be sure.

goodo Sep 3, 2002 2:47 am

With regards to DEN-COS-DEN, please correct me if I'm wrong, I think it means you can't stopover on something like this, i.e. you could do DEN-COS-DEN-COS-DEN-COS, as long as you don't stop over, which is 4hrs or Next available flight within North America.

Since this is an international ticket a stopover is when you stay MORE then 24hours in one city.

You could fly DEN-COS-DEN-COS-DEN and stay in COS 23hours and 59 minutes each time.

I believe Rudi also have mention that you can stay until next avialable flight and that doesnt count as a stopover either. To some places only one flight per week and that wouldnt count as a stopover.

Rudi Sep 3, 2002 3:13 am

kempis is (as always) correct.

goodo Sep 3, 2002 5:29 am

So on an international ticket, stopover is 24 hours even within N.A.?

good to know!
goodo
