Quick check on routing please
Just a quick check of my FSTAR2 itinerary. Please let me know if you find an error in it. Thanks in advance.
Ticket bought in India.
BOM
SIN
X NRT
JFK
x IAD
SJO
IAD
SFO
RNO
x SFO
BOS
X ORD
X FRA
DEL
Two questions? too many transfers anywhere (can someone explain the 3 transfers rule to me with a lay example...
)
2) Does SJO count as a stop in NA which means 6 stops in NA and one too many. If so, will cutting RNO out rectify the situation.
thanks to the gurus in advance. ^

- but it looks good to me.The ruling on the max 5 stopovers in NthAm reads as "within Continental USA/Canada", so San Jose CR (the SJO one) does not fall under that rule.
Transfers in laymans - a transfer is defined (under IATA standard definitions) as a movement through an airport, regardless of if it's a stopover (24 hrs+ between arrival and departure) or transit (- 24 hrs between arrival and departure).
Under the *RTW rules, you may transfer an airport/city maximum of 3 times. This means you can have 3 transits OR 2 transits and 1 stopover maximum at any one port/city.
Or in another way, you can pass through an airport 3 times maximum on one RTW trip, but of those three times you can only stopover for more than 24 hours on only one of those transfers.
Cheers.

just to recap. that means on this itinerary I have 2 transfers through IAD and could actually transfer once more if I wanted to so I can avoid ORD (yay). true?

I am certainly no guru but am I missing something here? Mileage is under 29,000 - I thought FSTAR2 is the 34,000 version. Couldnt you save some money by using FSTAR1? Or add some extra sectors to use up the mileage?

I agree with KiwiFlyer too, just quietly. I didn't bother checking the miles, just the routing, but it does appear within the STAR1 range of mileage.
