I'm going with AJK on this one. I personally have travel ADD. I think it'd be too long for me in BKK
They didn't let me book another connection through bkk so I added the direct hkt-cnx flight

All --

Make sure your bookings are TICKETED.

Once LH wakes up on these and pulls the plug, UA won't be able to ticket even if reserved.

Mine was hung up in confirmation until I HUCAd a couple times and it ticketed while on the phone.

Don't risk it.
Mine ticketed automatically.

And I was going to say you want to be in BKK at the latest by 7:45 PM, giving you a full four hours to mess around with TG F ground experience.

Personally, I'd spend a few hours in BKK at the malls, and grab a massage, and that's coming from someone who didn't enjoy his weekend in BKK.
Message you can get in CNX. You're going to sit in horrendous BKK traffic to go to a mall?
Meh. More than enough to do in cnx
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Good catch. That could've been disasterous
Does it make sense that there is a fare difference?

Fare difference? As in taxes? Yeah, could be. Slightly.

$44. He charged me on one. Then he made a mistake (put me on the wrong flight and had to switch it back) so he said he wouldn't charge me for the second one

I originally did the have united call you and she said this was not a legal routing. Too many stops to get to my destination.

She just said, I'll transfer you to the reservations desk because you could not have done that online.
Is it really illegal? I thought for a RT you were allowed to have 3 stops?

Depends on the rep. Everything is allowed and nothing is allowed.

But yea, I believe UA as a matter of course now allows 5 segments in each direction on a RT.

The one thing she is legitimately excited about is elephant riding and monkeys.
Also she loved CX f this past summer and the flight was to short.

How is it the same price when adding an extra segment? Or adding one to before the "deal" like NYC-YYZ?
