I know this is a YMMV kind of thing, but if you have any sort of complex routing or connection crazy itinerary like I did... just immediately ask to speak to the International Reservations desk as they are all PMCO agents who are not only much more experienced with booking these in shares, but also a lot less lenient on the rules...

I've read through the thread, and I think this is valid but if someone can please confirm.
LAX-TPE-BKK-SYD (destination) SYD-BKK-HKT (stopover - open jaw) HKG-NRT-LAX Thanks in advance. |

I've been getting a lot of pushback on this reservation - just want to make sure it's valid.
SFO-SEA SEA-FRA FRA-KIX KIX-HKG (destination) HKG-BKK BKK-LON (stopover) VIE-ORD (open-jaw) ORD-SFO (ideally it'd be OSL - VIE - ORD - SFO, but it wouldn't price. Think it's too many segments. I'd be okay dropping either OSL-VIE or ORD-SFO) If there is no stopover at ORD, it is technically legal. Nonetheless, I'm not surprised you're getting pushback. Trying to book SFO-HKG via Europe, especially in both directions, is likely to spark resistance. |

Why did you put "open-jaw" after VIE-ORD? It appears your OJ is LHR/VIE. Do you mean that you are stopping for more than 24 hours between ORD and SFO? Because that would not be allowed.

Yeah what I meant was the stopover/open jaw is between LHR/VIE (where I'll be spending >24hrs at). Right now I have it on hold as HKG-BKK-LHR, LHR-YVR-SFO which I didn't get any pushback on.

Well if you have the patience you can keep trying. Although I personally would not try to route the outbound to HKG through Europe and Japan. That is just a huge waste of time.
As for the outbound routing… just wanted to really try LH F and the LH FCT so… couldn't help myself :D |
RT open jaw vs 2 one ways difference?
What is the difference between booking an international roundtrip with an open jaw vs two one ways? I'm trying to transfer miles between accounts to get a trip and not sure which way to xfer miles.
