AsiaMiles Oneworld questions

[Grant Wootton]

Hello all,

Pardon me if I sound like complete idiot & if I'm posting this in wrong place.

Questions on asia miles oneworld multi-carrier award:
1) are surface sectors included in total mileage, i.e. if within my itinerary, I had LAX-JFK, then GIG-ZRH, would the distance between JFK & GIG be included in my total mileage to calculate my oneworld award zone?
2) using the above example, would the JFK-GIG surface sector be considered 1 or 2 stopovers?
3) can I the ultimate destination on my ticket be in a different country to the original origin?

Appreciate any help on this (including if I've posted this wrong). I can't get clarity from asiamiles terms & conditions on these questions

In addition to the 5 stopover limit, you are allowed two transits (of less than 24 hours) and up to two open-jaws. The surface sector does not count as a stopover and as far as I'm aware, also doesn't count towards the mileage limit. In your example JFK-GIG could be one of the two permitted open-jaws and in total counts as 1, not 2 stops.

You have to start and end in the same country.
