Paid RTW - Intracountry at the end of trip
Hi All,
I have been reading this forum extensively ever since I decided to do some travel this year. I can't believe the wealth of knowledge and all the tips available. Thankyou very much to all the knowledgable people and to everyone providing the tips.
I too have some questions and ask for some help..
A friend of mine is doing the following:
MEL-MAD (Land to BCN)
BCN-JFK
JFK-MEL
I am pretty sure his ticket is a OneWorld RTW.
I understand he is not making the most of what the OneWorld RTW has to offer but is the best he can do due to timing and who he must go see and do.
My question is at the end of the trip to maximise his purchase can he add on the following:
MEL-PER
PER-MEL
for some date in the future like 1/2/07 (and revise the date later)
and
MEL-SYD
SYD-MEL
for some other date in the future like 1/6/07 (and revise the date later)
I have tried the OneWorld Planner and it allows this to be done.
I question this because I was with him at the travel agent yesterday and the travel agent said no, you can only leave the place of origin once.
I have heard of a few bugs with the OneWorld Planner and not sure if what it tells me is correct.
From what I read with a OneWorld paid RTW you can leave the CONTINENT of origin only once (doesn't mention the CITY), and you can have 4 (i think) stopovers per continent, so I tend to believe the OneWorld Planner is telling me the correct thing.
I am doing a similar trip:
MEL-NRT
NRT-MAD
BCN-BOS
JFK-SYD
SYD-PER (at a later date)
PER-MEL
but mine is done as an Award booking (the Qantas award booking people were GREAT and well worth the 2500 points) and I think the rules differ a little compared to a paid booking (like what my friend is doing).
In the award booking I do believe that you can only leave the CITY of origin only once. Otherwise I would have come back to MEL then still had the MEL-PER booked for a later date.
I hope this is not too confusing and any guidence would be great...We are going to visit his travel agent tomorrow.
Thanks!
