RTW Routing Question
Hi all!
In case I move over to CAI, would the following itinerary be valid:
CAI-DXB-FRA-...-JFK-...-SFO-HKG-SIN-SYD-SIN-DPS-SIN-DXB-CAI
or even, mileage permitting:
CAI-DXB-FRA...-US Town-...-SIN-FRA-DXB-CAI
???
It is just about going CAI-DXB-FRA
and also coming back either that way or SIN-DXB-CAI.
Since LH dropped F service to CAI one most get creative. Thanks in advance for your replies!

You are talking about this rule:
The number of crossing between TC2 (Europe/Africa) and TC3 (Asia) has been restricted for RWSTAR tickets to only one. Because CAI & DXB are in TC2 both itineraries are fine (you know, that there is only one stopover at DXB allowed).

Thanks,
I know that LH left one flight with F, but I would actually prefer my inbound routing with SQ and also CAI-DXB-FRA outbound.
One stopover, sure! Thanks!

And in addition the SQ only has the old F seats.

It works better going west. I flew SQ SIN-DXB-CAI, bought by next RTW from LH at CAI, and flew out on OS all on the same day. I can't say it was comfortable, but I think going east would be worse -- or at least take more time.
