SF are you trying to piece together some crazy OW around the world ticket and all of the connections have to be eastward throughout the US and CAN because you have some stipulation that they have to all be in the direction of your final destination?

This is the only practical case i could see unless you have a really crazy boss...

I did all flights and it didnt show up

It seems that ARM cannot discern between codeshares and regionals. There is a button on the toolbar to the right of the filter to allow codeshares. This will show the American Eagle flights but you may need to verify manually (via ITA?) to see if its really a CS or a regional.

AE (ORD-ATL, RDU-DCA) is allowed on a OW award ticket.
AS (YVR-LAX) is not.

All of those flights can be booked on an AA partner award ticket.

This is fun. Who wants to sponsor my trip?

Super, as mentioned above by Mike and others, AA is the only shot and their only flight is to DFW so not much to work with...

Dan · « **Reply #45 on:** March 18, 2011, 11:44:46 AM »

This would all be more practical on a CO RTW where stopovers must be made in a single direction (although connections of <24 hours do not)
As OW tickets don't have such a restriction this all seems a bit suspect.

Thanks guys, yes, it needs to be OW compatible, and it cannot go to MEX.

On another note, someone mentioned DCA. Is there anyway to get from there to IAD?

Its weird and if you guys wouldn't tell me, I'd be sure that AA Eagle would be OW compatible.

The best would have been from yvr going south (little bit east), back north (little east), back south (little east, etc.)

Quite disappointed with AA, I think I will stop trading their miles as punishment!

So what's the most extreme flights, so that the term suicidal shouldn't be stated in vain.

Again, the only workable optin is AA. Who only flies to DFW which is almost 3l4 across the states...

Watch out, Americas unemployrment rate is about to skyrockt with the closer of AA's Superflyer desk..

SF, we posted the most extreme flights.
Unfortunately they did not have you in mind when they planned their flight routes...

You get from DCA to IAD by cab/bus/foot... Its under 30 miles- no flights.

Still only going east? Except for YVR they're all east coast...

+1
Houston (IAH) is the only "non-east coast" but you dont gain anything because you are already east of DFW. The rest are all EC so unless we can go westbound this doesnt change anything.

Vancouver is definitely not east coast, and Chicago is midwest but yes out of the 6 SF mention 3 could be considered east coast Toronto, Atlanta and DC

He's saying SF didn't add anything on the west coast to what he previously gave.

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #57 on:** March 20, 2011, 12:32:59 AM »

You could switch it, to ONLY going westward, but how would that help?

I want to fin out, whether there is an option to go NORTH to SOUTH or vice versa.

Would that help?

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #58 on:** March 22, 2011, 02:12:45 AM »

Using the cities I've mentioned, going from north to south or vice versa, is also allowed.

Btw, I've checked, and American Eagle can be booked as one world.

I hope that sheds some positive ideas to this thread.

Please clarify what you mean by this. All our suggestions included north and south- how else would it be possible to go from city to city unless they are in a perfectly straight line? I am not getting what flexibility this statement added that we weren't already doing.
