DONE4 - Is there any way to...

[Febs]

Hi all,

I have a DONE4 (starting in a few weeks), currently ending in NRT-BNE-SYD.

I'll be back in Sydney for a few days before heading off to Jakarta, and was wondering if there's any way to work this into the DONE4? I understand you can't return to the point of origin, but perhaps something like NRT-BNE-JKT(CGK)-SYD?

I tried it on the OW Itinerary planner, and it gave an error about exiting and re-entering a continent (Australia)...so I presume I'm out of luck...but figured someone may know of a good loophole, or another way I could work it out (i.e. take a cheaper fare NRT-SYD-NRT, then continue the DONE4 NRT-JKT-SYD)?

Ideally I'd just spend those two nights in NRT and go straight to JKT, but I really need to be in Sydney that weekend.

Cheers,
- Febs.

mileage monkey has it right; also since your travel must commenced on Oz, one you return to Oz you can't leave.

You have it right; hold your travel in Asia and do Asia-SYD-Asia on a separate ticket ... perhaps an xAS13 if you want to be really creative!

Nope...
No chance of doing Asia-Aus-Asia-Aus.

Unless you are in JKT for work and can get them to spring for
NRT-BNE-JKT plus your reissue fee

rather than just a flat JKT return

Thanks guys. JKT is for work, but thinking about it now...I think NRT-SYD-NRT-JKT will just be too much effort/flying, given I only have a few days in Sydney.

Will probably end up finishing the DONE4 then just doing SYD-JKT-SYD.

Cheers
