Sorry. Going from southeast US, but have searched ORD, IAD, and IAH on TK in J with no luck. Dates are flexible, anytime in 2015. Just curious if there's a better way to search than bouncing from UA.com for TK and SA space and US.com to find the connecting flights on each end.

Once you have the long-hauls, when you call USDM to book they should be able to find you the domestic connectors fairly easily (based on availability).

Has anyone had any problems booking a mix of non-OW carriers (like TK connecting to SA)?

my sister is the latest victim in the air china cancel problem. I can see seats on UA but USAIR can't see and she is now stuck in shanghai as the supervisor cancelled a flight that they and rescheduled her on and left her stranded in shanghai.
I asked could she request the seat she said yes to call back in 24 hrs I then went in to check the flight and it was not even in there as a request . when I called they said no she is leaving the ticket in shanghai.
one hand doesn't know what the other is doing.
oh yes they can cancel the whole thing .
not much good with 3 weeks before biz class europe trip.

Your post is difficult to read and I don't quite get it...but as far as I know the 'air china cancel' problem applies only to UA Mileage Plus bookings and relies on the fact these can be cancelled online. Clearly that doesn't apply to USDM bookings. Or are you saying your sister was originally ticketed by UA and you are trying to find a replacement with USDM?
I just remember there was an air china problem some time ago as a heading on FT.I checked their booking at the time and it seemed ok till yesterday.
yes we booked with USDM in feb and they just cancelled a flight and re booked them 36 hrs later then when I called to get it fixed they cancelled the flight AC had re booked and left them in shanghai.
trying to sort it now.
air china have been helpful.
seems one has to go to the airline concerned as US arent really interested which I have been reading.

OK, so a schedule change issue. I've had the same happen to me last week. My CA flight from MEL-PVG has been moved by 24 hours as the originally booked date is now no longer operating (seem to have gone from 5 to 4 weekly). It has cut my time in PVG from 72 hours to 48 hours whereas I would've made it 96 hours if given the option - even though that means I'd need a visa. Perhaps I could ask CA to sneakily change it to the previous day instead and just get US to reissue? I don't really want to draw US's attention to the ticket as it's a bit of a South Pacific 'special'!
but the risk is that if the flight doesn't get revalidated it could get cancelled at the 72 hour window?

Looking for a J award on TK to IST before 7/31 when US wont work with TK from IAD and I am using the United site to look stuff up and there is absolutely nothing. Is this typical where TK J awards ex USA are next to non existant?

Do anyone know how stop overs work for the non-oneworld airlines? Can you do a stop over at bangkok? I know Thai is not there anymore but what options are available? Is it restricted to the airline hub? For example Singapore Air only in singapore and turkish air only in Turkey?
