US Dividend Miles - Award Booking Questions and General Discussion

[Foreigner]

Is this doable? SYD-JFK (QF), JFK-HKG (CX), HKG-SYD.

Stop in NYC and also in HKG. How many miles in J?

If the availability is there you should be sweet. MPM shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks richh1833. Thanks Doggy.

Could someone advise if crossing Atlantic and Pacific in one booking is allowable? i.e. ARW
If so would the following be OK:

PER-DOH-LON (Stopover)
LON-DFW (Dest)
DFW-HKG-SYD-PER

Thanks

based on the previous posts here that routing should be okay. MPM is fine both ways

Cross both oceans is fine, it's only a RTW if your itinerary has multiple stopovers. That doesn't mean some agents wont try and tell you its a RTW.

This itinerary should be achievable if you can find availability.

Help much appreciated richh1833 and bcworld.
All works OK except I can not get back into Aust in J.
Trying to rejig which raises another question.
If I make NYC my destination will it be a problem if I arrive at one airport and depart from another at a later date.
Also if I do NYC-NRT-SYD-PER on my return will it be OK on MPM
Thanks again

As in arrive in NYC and depart at LAX? Actually I think its fine referring than earlier post by bcworld. If thats the case, then you can't have a stopover. They only allow either 1 stopover or 1 open jaw

e.g. leave from MEL fly back to SYD...or fly to LAX and leave from NYC.

= Open Jaw

NYC-NRT-SYD-PER is within the MPM

 

[Swan]

It was a bit unclear. I was not referring to and open jaw but different airports in NYC. I had a problem previously when trying to book a transit thru NYC using different airports but I hope in a destination situation it will not be a problem.
Thanks for your assistance richh1833

Hmm thats weird. Transits within NYC airports should be fine. I have no personal experience but I've read a lot of threads whereby it shouldn't be considered a stopover or open-jaw. Eg: TYO, transiting from NRT to HND. Maybe try another agent?

The New York co-terminals are considered the same location. ie. JFK, LGA and EWR (New Jersey is a different city but Newark is still considered as part of New York).

 

[Foreigner]

In May I flew DCA to EWR, then chose to fly JFK to CAI.

I would hesitate to do such transfer between airports. Fortunately I had six hours between flights but the challenge of picking up bags in one airport, then transporting self and luggage to another was a PITA.

Hi - just looking into making my 1st booking for July 15 3 * J with USDM & need a little assistance. Would this ticket be allowed PER-DOH-ZRH-SUF(destination)-MUC(stop over)-DOH-PER?

Also, I'm having trouble seeing any availability exPER on QR in KVS or ba.com. Is anyone else having trouble seeing anything on QR exPER? It seems to work ok until Jan 15. KVS shows U as ? or nothing at all. Is there anywhere else I can look?

thanks for your help.

Technically in this case SUF is closer to PER than MUC, therefore MUC is your destination.

 

[sioux]

thanks bcworld - is it still a valid routing with them swapped?

No, because SUF is not a OneWorld hub or US airways destination, so according to the rules it can't be a stopover. You can ask though...

 

[sioux]

forgot about that rule - we need to get to SUF & MUC. Obviously I'm trying to get the most out of our points - could it work if I do an open-jaw PER-ZRH-SUF MUC-DOH-PER? Will just need to buy one internal flight then. Or do you know a better routing?

that would work as an open jaw. You can check with the oneworld route mapper to see if there are other options. Are you using the Air Berlin flight from ZRH-SUF? I see it's a 4 digit flight number, i hope it's bookable? (it didn't seem to be a code-share)

 

[sioux]

yes was going to use Air Berlin ZRH-SUF - I'm pretty sure it's not code-share as well. I used the oneworld route mapper either go through MUC, ZRH or BERLIN but ZRH had the flight connection to SUF.

Just trying to minimise the # of internal flights I need to buy or use other points on.
